A Master’s thesis in English Language entitled “A Qualitative Discourse Analysis of English Petitions” was defended at the College of Basic Education, University of Mosul, on Sunday, August 16, 2026, in the Umm Al-Rabiain Hall at the College of Basic Education.

• Prof. Dr. Mazin Fawzi Ahmed — Chair
