Information Technology Department

About the Department:

The information technology department was established in October 2017 as one of CSIT's departments at the University of Kirkuk. Computer networking is an ever-evolving field because of the advancements in the applications that build on sharing information (e.g., internet applications). This field requires qualifiers able to maintain networks to work efficiently and handling system security effectively.

The Vision:

 The department's vision looks to graduates scientific experts on the networks systems (computers networks, mobile networks, sensor networks, etc.). Additionally, implement the networks mentioned above as an essential tool for human development on Information Technology (IT). All these are achieved within four academic years program.

The Message:

Prepare qualifiers able to develop and maintain networks. Furthermore, they capable of integrating and interacting with practical and scientific in society.

The Objectives:

• Preparing outstanding students capable of completing their postgraduate studies.
• Consolidate theoretical and practical concepts and provide students with the necessary scientific expertise to work in networks' types. Additionally, learning the methods of building and managing any network.
• Encouraging scientific research and supporting scientific and practical studies in various fields in network systems.
• Preparing professionals in design, implementation, management and maintenance of networks (e.g., the Internet, wired and wireless local networks, mobile phone networks).
• Due to the spread of the Internet applications of the concept of electronic governance, the department prepares teams able to deal with computer networks
