The Times Higher Education World University Rankings has listed 79 Iraqi universites, ranking two of them in the range 1,001-1,200 worldwide, 3 in the range 1,201-1,500, and a further 16 in the category 1,501+.
The remaining 58 universities were listed with 'recorder' status, meaning that they submitted data but did not meet the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the table.
A statement from the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research said, "twenty-two Iraqi universities obtained top scores in the ranking", which could be considered an overstatement the country's achievements.
The two Iraqi universites scoring best were:
- University of Sulaimani
- University of Technology
They were followed by:
- Salahaddin University-Erbil
- University of Anbar
- University of Duhok
The THE rankings take the top institutions in the world, and look at their performance across all of their core objectives: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.
