Koya University

Koya University is based in the town of Koysanjaq in the Erbil province of Iraq.
The university can trace its roots to the colleges of education and Sharia law which were affiliated to Sulaymaniyah University in 2001. Within two years it was awarded university status and taken their current name.
A reorganisation in 2010 shifted from colleges to faculties and there are currently four – engineering, science and health, humanities and social sciences, and education, plus the medical school and a school of physical education. 
The university is based on a 200-acre campus. Nearly four-fifths of students live on campus, with new students required to live there. Shared rooms make up most of the accommodation in five residences – two male and three female. 
The medical school, formed in 2014 has access to Koya University Hospital, which include the Centre for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support which has operated since 2017.
