The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research announced the issuing of the Erasmus+ Program Guide, which aims to clarify the mechanisms for participation in the European program for academic exchange and skills development for students, lecturers, and educational institutions.

The guide includes a detailed explanation of the program paths, application requirements, and the nature of the opportunities available for education, training and international cooperation, which contributes to strengthen partnerships between Iraqi universities and European universities.

The Erasmus+ program provides Iraqi students, academic staff and universities with the opportunity to participate in student exchange programmes, joint research projects and capacity building initiatives with partner institutions across Europe. These experiences not only develop academic and professional skills, but also contribute to enhance cross-cultural understanding, innovation and shared growth.

This guide was developed specifically for Iraqi students and universities to simplify and clarify the Erasmus application process. It provides step-by-step guidance, key tips and practical examples to help applicants navigate the program requirements with confidence and to make the process easier. This guide supports Iraq’s broader goal of building a dynamic, internationally connected higher education system that contributes to the country’s sustainable development and strengthens its global engagement. Through the Erasmus+ program and other international cooperation programmes, Iraq is opening new doors to its academic community, doors that lead to knowledge exchange, personal growth, and strengthen connections with the world. This guide is your key to make the most of these opportunities.
