Electrical Engineering

Department Overview

Welcome to Department of Electrical Engineering. We are one of the oldest department of the College of Engineering at Salahddin University-Erbil. The faculty members are dedicated scholars committed to the advancement of knowledge. They are also dedicated lecturers of undergraduate and graduate students. Many of our faculty have graduated in the western countries, and some others from Asian countries.

Our faculty members are active researchers that publish their works in major international journals and conferences. Our distinctive four-year undergraduate degree program leads to an accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering Degree. The first and second years focus on the fundamental courses of electrical science, while the third and fourth years emphasis on the three disciplines: Electronics and Communications Engineering, Power Engineering, and Computer and Control Engineering. Each of these fields provides a specific specialist degree for undergraduate students. Our graduate program emphasizes the highest quality in graduate education and research. The main component of the program, the Doctoral of Philosophy (PhD) program, prepares students for a variety of careers in research, teaching, and advanced development. The program is intimately connected to our research program and emphasizes forward-looking research fields. Also, our department offer a two-year research based Master of Science (MSc) program. Both programs are designated for multiple different areas such as Communication Engineering, Power Engineering, Computer and Control Engineering, Robotics, etc.

Admissions Details

Department of Electrical Engineering
College of Engineering – Salahaddin University-Erbil

The Department of Electrical Engineering accepts new undergraduate students each academic year through the Kurdistan Region’s Central University Admission System, coordinated by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MHE).

The department offers three specialized branches within its Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree programs:

  1. Power and Renewable Energy Engineering
  2. Computer and Control Engineering
  3. Electronics and Communication Engineering

Each branch provides students with a focused and comprehensive education tailored to industry and research needs in its respective field.

Annual Intake Capacity

  • Total department intake: 75 to 120 students per academic year
  • Branch-specific intake: 25 to 50 students per branch per year

Student placement into one of the three branches is determined by the central admission process, based on high school performance, student preferences, and available capacity.

Admission Requirements

  • Completion of the 12th grade (science stream) or equivalent secondary education.
  • Eligibility as determined by the Kurdistan Region's General Directorate of Admissions.
  • Students are admitted based on their baccalaureate exam scores and assigned to branches accordingly.
 

The Department of Electrical Engineering at Salahaddin University-Erbil takes pride in producing a large and growing network of successful alumni who have made significant contributions in academia, industry, and public service—both locally and internationally.
