Here you can read some examples of how DelPHE Iraq projects have helped Iraqi higher education and local communities.
Cardiff University and Hawler Medical University train new generation of Iraqi medics
After decades of instability, Iraq’s medical teaching sector has been isolated from the worldwide medical community and has consequently missed out on valuable knowledge-sharing opportunities. Through the DelPHE-Iraq programme however, Cardiff University’s School of Medicine and Hawler Medical University have worked together to give young Iraqi medical undergraduates the skills, facilities and training they need to help mend the country’s medical sector.

De Montfort University and Kerbala University develop forensic science skills for Iraqi students
Forensic science is vital to a strong justice system, helping to solve crimes, identify criminals – and sometimes to identify victims. But decades of disruption to the country’s universities has left Iraq with a skills shortage in the field. Under the DelPHE-Iraq programme however, De Montfort University and Kerbala University are working together to develop a forensic science training resource. The aim is to create a pool of Iraqi qualified forensic scientists and contribute to re-establishing a stable society.

With support from the Kurdistan Regional Government and funding from the DelPHE-Iraq programme, the Universities of Coventry (UK) and Salahaddin University-Hawler (Kurdistan) are establishing a Quality Assurance system at Salahaddin University-Hawler.

Universities of Salford and Basrah equip Iraqi students with the skills to rebuild their communities
With many buildings destroyed by war, Basrah now needs to reconstruct its houses, shops, offices and factories. But disruption to the country’s universities has resulted in a lack of local graduates with the right skills, particularly in construction and project management. Through the DelPHE programme, the Universities of Salford and Basrah have established a new Centre for research and education in the built environment (design, construction and maintenance of buildings, infrastructure and cities) to help Iraqi students gain the skills they need to rebuild their country.
