The program is classified at Level 6 of the Iraqi National Qualifications Framework (INQF), in accordance with the regulations and guidelines of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR).

Students are admitted through the centralized admission system of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Admission is based on the approved secondary-school branches, sequence of choices, academic average, number of applicants, and the minimum admission grades.

To be awarded the Bachelor of Science degree in New and Renewable Energy Sciences, students must:

  • Successfully pass the four academic stages.
  • Attend at least 90% of the scheduled hours for each subject; a student is considered not to have completed a subject if absence exceeds 10% of its total hours.
  • Obtain a passing grade of at least 50% in each subject, according to the approved evaluation method.
  • Successfully complete the required summer training in a state department related to the specialization after passing the third stage.
  • Complete the graduation research/project and successfully pass its discussion in the fourth stage.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and academic credit transfer are permitted only in the context of student transfers or the recognition of equivalent courses. Such cases are evaluated and processed in accordance with the applicable regulations, policies, and guidelines issued by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR) and the University of Mosul.

Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to possess the following knowledge and abilities:

  • GO1: Work with renewable-energy sources and apply renewable-energy technologies to improve environmental quality and energy efficiency.
  • GO2: Design and establish renewable-energy systems for generating clean energy using available resources.
  • GO3: Understand the functions and applications of renewable energy for efficient energy production in a clean and pollution-free environment.
  • GO4: Apply renewable-energy technologies and integrate them with artificial intelligence and nanotechnology to generate clean, high-quality, and efficient energy.
  • GO5: Calculate energy obtained from renewable sources and optimize its use to improve energy efficiency in buildings, institutions, commercial properties, and industrial facilities.
  • GO6: Solve energy-technology challenges through data analysis and scientific interpretation of results.
  • GO7: Communicate effectively and work collaboratively while demonstrating analytical and critical thinking, creativity, and innovation.
  • GO8: Assume responsibility and leadership individually and within teams, with adaptability and a focus on sustainability.
  • GO9: Use data, facts, and ideas to solve problems while adhering to professional ethics and lifelong learning.
