About The Department of Civil Engineering

 The Department of Civil Engineering / University of Basrah is one of the oldest engineering departments in Iraq. It was established in 1964, in order to prepare qualified engineers to serve and develop the country under the supervision and teaching of the most prestigious academics with higher degrees. Every year a large number of students are accepted due to the urgent need to graduate civil engineers in order to rebuild and develop infrastructure. Admission to the department is for high school graduates, in a four-year study period. The graduate is awarded a bachelor's degree in civil engineering sciences. Where the department aims to prepare an efficient engineer capable of creativity and innovation, and follow up on engineering and scientific developments.

Over the years, the department has witnessed a great development in scientific capacity and capabilities.

The Civil Engineering Department is one of the largest departments of the college in terms of the number of students in terms of preliminary and graduate studies. The department is one of the most important tributaries to supplying the public and private sectors with high efficiency.

Department Vision

Aims to be one component of these corporations have interest in engineering education in Iraq throughout a distinct program which has known on both the local and international levels. This department provides an educational engineering environment high in quality along with researchers and services that enrich the profession, raise up the community, and provide civil engineers with high efficiency to build and serve their country.

The program mainly plans to continuously upgrade and develop the level of scientific curricula, academic training, and engineering services to suit the department's nobility and honorable history.

Department Mission

Civil Engineering Department of College of Engineering of Basrah University aims to fulfill the Iraqi community requirements and all the regions of civil engineers by providing high-quality programs in education and scientific research. It aims also to serve the community by providing the best educational opportunities to graduate distinct students capable to follow up on the last scientific developments according to extensive quality standards. It also takes on his responsibility to students support to increase their abilities and enhance their field and technical skills to enable them to enter the work market and make success in it, in addition, to continuing their education and development in their chosen professions, as well as providing an educational creative environment leads the department staff to more and better productivity.
