Campus Life

We are committed to providing our students with a dynamic and engaging campus environment that is designed to support their academic and personal growth. Our purpose-built campus spans over 150,000 sqm and offers a wide range of facilities and amenities that enable our students to thrive.

Our campus is equipped with state-of-the-art research labs, computer labs, and a library that provides access to a wide range of academic resources and materials. We also offer a range of recreational facilities, including a gym, sports facilities, and student lounges, that enable our students to stay active and connect with their peers.

The BIU campus is located in Kasnazan, Erbil, with 177,000 squaremetre grounds next to the Martyrs Monument. The campus consists of the schools of Medicine and Health Sciences, Engineering and Technology, and Humanities, with a school of Professional and Vocational Education planned for the near future.  The BIU campus facilities include our Presidential building with dormitories, event halls, workout spaces and fully resourced libraries available in each School building.

Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness

__________

Promoting ecological sustainability and environmental stewardship are important objectives at BIU. These goals tie in closely with our core values of global citizenship, inclusivity, and innovation. We are deeply committed to safeguarding our local communities from the dangers of diminishing water security and the loss of green spaces. A cornerstone of our approach is the integration of eco-friendly practices across our campus infrastructure. Notably, we have allocated a substantial portion, approximately 70%, of our campus to verdant green spaces. These spaces will also be offered to the public in perpetuity for enjoyment and preservation of cultural practices. The traditional stewards of the mountains will also be welcome to preserve their livestock feeding trails with careful attention to the honouring of the nation that has hosted us.  We have pioneered sustainability in the Kurdistan region by using solar panels as our primary source of electricity. In addition, we are implementing comprehensive water conservation strategies. By establishing a strategically located pond near our campus, we aim to effectively capture and store rainwater. This initiative-taking approach not only enhances underground water reserves during summer months but also mitigates the risk of flooding during winter seasons. Inside our campus, through the adoption of digital technologies, we streamline administrative processes and diminish our reliance on paper-based documentation.

They may come from various academic and cultural backgrounds, including government school graduates, international school graduates and international students from neighbouring countries, seeking quality higher education in fields offered by BIU. While studying at BIU, students have regular opportunities to serve the region and contribute to its development. Through community engagement initiatives, volunteer programs, and internships, students can apply their academic knowledge and skills to address local challenges, promote social welfare, and push economic growth. Additionally, participation in extracurricular activities, student organizations, and leader- ship roles allows students to develop valuable interpersonal skills, cultural awareness, and civic responsibility, preparing them to become active and engaged members of their communities
