🎉 A Proud Achievement for Koya University 🎉

Koya University has simultaneously achieved a significant historical milestone, attaining two highly valuable successes in the academic arena.

Koya University has been ranked first among public universities in the Kurdistan Region in the THE Impact Rankings 2025.

The university’s journal, ARO – The Scientific Journal of Koya University,” has been recognized as the first-ranked scientific journal at the level of the Federal Republic of Iraq.

We offer our congratulations on this historic achievement to our academic community, including the professors, administrative staff, employees of Koya University, and the people of Koya city and Kurdistan at large.

Koya University is also proud to announce a significant accomplishment — we have been ranked first among public universities in the Kurdistan Region in the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings 2025!

This recognition is a clear reflection of our commitment to excellence in research, education, and community impact — guided by our vision as “A University for a Stronger Society.”

We extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to all KOU staff, faculty members, employees, and students. This achievement would not have been possible without your dedication, hard work, and belief in our mission.
