Advance with an MSc Business Administration from Sulaymaniyah, Iraq

Build your next chapter without leaving Sulaymaniyah. The MSc Business Administration, offered online by the University of Salford in exclusive partnership with Robert Kennedy College, gives you the opportunity to develop your business knowledge while continuing your life and work in Iraq.

Earn an internationally recognised British degree

Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Salford. It is a qualification you can present as you pursue opportunities in Iraq and internationally.

Studying business administration at master’s level can help you connect strategic thinking with the challenges organisations face across industries and borders.

Study 100% online in as little as one year

The programme can be completed entirely online, so you can work towards your degree without relocating or putting your life in Sulaymaniyah on hold.

Depending on your pace of study, you may be able to complete it in as little as one year. That means you could start applying new ideas to your professional goals sooner.

Learn on a schedule that works for you

You do not need to be online at specific times or dates. Instead of arranging your day around scheduled online attendance, you can engage with your studies when it suits you.

Whether your best study hours are early in the morning, after work or on the weekend, this flexibility makes it easier to keep moving forward alongside other commitments.

Take your studies wherever you go

Study from Sulaymaniyah, elsewhere in Iraq or anywhere your plans take you. Your learning does not have to stop when you travel.

With the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. Prepare before a journey, then use time on the move to stay connected to your goals.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. You can consult learning resources as you work through the questions and tasks set for you.

This approach gives you an opportunity to focus on understanding ideas and applying them thoughtfully—skills that matter when business decisions do not come with a memorised answer.

Learn from internationally educated faculty

Your tutors and faculty bring academic backgrounds shaped by world-renowned institutions, including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Their perspectives can help you examine business concepts from more than one angle and consider how to apply what you learn in different professional settings.

Join a worldwide learning community

Study alongside a diverse student base drawn from more than 130 countries. The exchange of experiences and perspectives can broaden the way you think about leadership, organisations and international business.

Alumni have worked for international organisations including DHL, CK Hutchison, BASF, Nestlé, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, GM, Louis Vuitton, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony.

Plan your payments with interest-free instalments

The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, giving you a way to spread the cost over time.

With a clearer payment schedule, you can plan your studies around your existing commitments and concentrate on the work ahead.

Put your learning to work in Sulaymaniyah

Sulaymaniyah’s retailers, trading businesses and service providers operate in markets where decisions about customers, operations and growth matter every day. Business administration knowledge can help graduates evaluate opportunities, improve processes and contribute to stronger organisations.

For professionals working in hospitality and tourism, the programme can offer useful perspectives on strategy, service and organisational performance. Those ideas can support efforts to serve visitors, manage teams and adapt as customer expectations change.

Graduates pursuing entrepreneurial ventures—or working in sectors such as education, healthcare and community services—can also draw on broad management theory when planning projects and leading people. The programme offers a foundation for thinking beyond a single role or sector, whether your ambitions remain in Sulaymaniyah or take you further afield.
