Montanuniversität intensifies partnership with UKH

This April, Professor Dana Mawlood, Vice President for Administration and Director of the Austrian Community Center at the University of Kurdistan Hewlêr (UKH), Iraq, visited Montanuniversität Leoben. He met with Rector Peter Moser to discuss strengthening the academic cooperation between the two institutions. Susanne Feiel, Director of International Relations and Professor Riyaz Kharrat, International Liaison Officer, also attended the meeting.

The discussion began with a review of the ongoing exchange program, which enables UKH students to study at Montanuniversität Leoben and provides them with valuable international academic and cultural experiences.

In addition to the exchange initiative, the success of the International Master of Petroleum Engineering double degree program was also discussed. Building on this collaboration, the participants explored further opportunities to expand their academic partnership by developing new joint programs. These include a Bachelor's degree program in Geoenergy Engineering, a Master’s program in Safety and Disaster Management and expanded opportunities for PhD student involvement.

Rector Moser and Professor Mawlood reaffirmed their commitment to academic collaboration and global education. The meeting highlighted a shared vision for long-term engagement, knowledge exchange and the creation of impactful academic and research opportunities.
