About Madenat Alelem University

Basic information and contact details for Madenat Alelem University

The Madenat Alelem University College was officially established in 2005 with permission from the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. However, its origins can be traced back to 1932 when its parent Islamic teaching school was founded. The university is located in the Islamic holy city of Kadhimiya, a northern neighbourhood in Baghdad, Iraq. There are a multitude of departments at the university that students can choose to specialise in. These include accounting; anaesthesia and intensive care; biology; civil engineering; computer engineering; medical physics and law. The department of anesthesia and intensive care opened in 2017 with the support of the Iraqi Ministry of Health. It is the first of its kind in a higher education institution in Iraq. The university aims to improve medical care in Iraq by providing students with specialised anaesthesia teaching. The university’s campus is fully equipped with an extensive range of facilities. It boasts a number of specialised laboratories, various athletic yards, modern classrooms, and a library. There is also an in-campus mosque for students and staff. The Journal of Madenat Alelem University College published its first volume in 2009. The journal publishes research submitted by the university in either Arabic or English. Its research topics include biology, chemistry, engineering, law, and physics. As the capital of Iraq, Baghdad is the country’s largest city and the second largest city in the Arab World. Historically, Baghdad has been a significant centre of both Arab and Islamic civilisations, and it remains an important part of these cultures today.

Our student demographic reflects the rich cultural and ethnic diversity of Birmingham itself, with a significant proportion of students from minoritised ethnic backgrounds and the majority of our home students coming from the West Midlands. This diversity is a strength, and it calls for a workforce that is equipped to challenge deficit narratives and thinking — those assumptions that position students from underrepresented groups as lacking rather than recognising their assets, strengths and potential.

Students can choose to study their entire programme in China or complete part of it in China and finish at BCU. Our teaching commitment at BIFCA is expanding, and we are seeking a lecturer to contribute to this ongoing development. The position offers a unique opportunity to live and work in a popular part of China on a two-year fixed-term contract, with the option to renew after the two-year period is complete.

You will also possess core technical development experience, and demonstrate experience/expertise in at least one of the following areas: Software Development Front and Backend Web Development (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, SQL) Game Development (Unity or Unreal) Virtual Production, Modelling and Animation Embedded Systems (Arduino, Pi, Linux) Please note that on occasions when we receive a high volume of applications, we may close the advert before the publicised closing date.
