About the University

About the University:
The Southern Technical University was established in mid-August 2014, and is linked to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. The main office ( University President’s Office) is located in the province of Basra, where this development comes in response to the requirements of technical and scientific expansion in the south of Iraq, serving as an important addition to its counterparts among technical and academic universities scattered throughout our dear country. The university included the following colleges and institutes at the beginning of its establishment:

Basra Engineering Technical College
Basra Administrative Technical College
Basra Health and Medical Technical College
Basra Technical Institute
Nasiriyah Technical Institute
Shatra Technical Institute
Amara Technical Institute
Qurna Technical Institute

Then the university expanded in response to the requirements of the labor market and the urgent need of our dear southern provinces to enrich the scientific and technical fields with technical and engineering cadres, including the opening of the College of Graduate Studies, which was truly an important addition, allowing university students to fulfill their desire to complete their higher studies. Similarly, the Technical College was opened in Dhi Qar province, with its two branches: Electromechanics and Accounting Techniques. The Technical College of Maysan was then opened, with its branches: Electromechanical and Building Engineering and Construction. Shatra Technical College was also opened, with its two branches: Medical Laboratory Techniques and Tissue Culture Techniques and Medicinal Plants. Nevertheless, the university continues to provide its graduates to the labor market, whether in the government or private sector, by qualifying them scientifically and technically to meet those needs and enhance their scientific standing.
