DelPHE Iraq logo

Years of war badly affected universities in Iraq, leaving them under-resourced and isolated from the global academic community. But Iraq's universities are now able to open their doors again.

The DelPHE-Iraq programme brings Iraqi universities together with universities in the United Kingdom to strengthen Iraq's higher education system and equip talented Iraqi students with the skills they need to rebuild their country.

Funding has now closed but you can find out more about DelPHE Iraq projects here. There is also useful information for DelPHE-Iraq project teams including advice on travel, visas, reporting and more.
