About College

The scientific process at Technical College of Zakho TCZ began in 2016 under the name “Technical College for Petroleum and Mineral Sciences-Zakho” and with only two departments namely: Petroleum Geology Department and Geophysics Department. The TCZ’s staff began their scientific and educational tasks in welcoming fresher students for the 2016-2017 academic year for the Petroleum Geology Department. While the second department ‘Geophysics’ has been suspended due to the unavailability of staff. Since the first moments, the staff of the College, despite their limited material resources, have been working hard to maintain the scientific and practical process. The days and years of great achievements and the accelerated scientific development of TCZ have begun to show remarkable results, following the significant development of the college’s work and the widespread news of its activities in Kurdistan region in particular and Iraq in general. The large numbers of students applying to the college was an evidence to the TCZ success, as well as, recently large number of graduates working with oil companies operating in the Kurdistan, making the college an attractive name for students. To keep alignment with the development taking place in the city of Zakho, it was proposed that the name of the college to be changed to the Technical College of Zakho, so that it would be more comprehensive in order to build students who are distinguished and creative in their fields. This is what the labor market in the city of Zakho requires. At present, when looking at this modest place (to begin with) we find it has changed in a positive way.

The TCZ devotes great attention to raising the scientific standard of teaching staff by completing their studies and focusing on sound scientific research and publishing in world-famous journals.

The college is also seeking to find alternative sources of funding in the current circumstances in order to strengthen the scientific, educational and service process by opening up scientific cooperation and exchanging experiences with private and governmental institutions and joint sectors in order to promote reality and serve all segments of society. This has already been done through the signing of Memorandum of Understanding with international organizations and research centers.
