Iraq: Costs

Tuition and living costs

Public university tuition

Federal public universities: MoHESR describes the three Study in Iraq tracks (full scholarship, 50% half-funded, self-funded full tuition) but publishes no tuition amounts; University of Baghdad says tuition for half-funded and self-funded students is set in Iraqi dinars or USD equivalent and paid annually (amount not on page). Kurdistan Region: the KRG Ministry of Higher Education overview states education is free with no tuition fees, but its scope for foreign students is not stated, and a Salahaddin University-Erbil postgraduate FAQ (undated, not fetched directly) reportedly charges foreign students fees (MA about 5,000,000 IQD for the whole programme per search snippet). Conflict unresolved.Show moreSource

Private university tuition

AUIS (private, Sulaimani): undergraduate annual tuition table in IQD; headline baseline 10,950,000 IQD per year with lower scholarship-adjusted rates depending on baccalaureate score (for example 4,500,000 IQD international rate in the top score band); the page's table lost column alignment on extraction, so the other bands could not be assigned reliably. Al-Hadba University (private, Mosul) states tuition varies by programme and reductions of 30-50% may be offered to students from low-income countries; amounts not published.Show moreSource

Indicative only, from one public university (Basrah University of Oil and Gas) Study in Iraq page: university housing free or at a nominal subsidised fee; living and food about 150-250 USD per month; transport about 30-50 USD per month. No national or Kurdistan official cost-of-living figure found.Show moreSource
