The College of Medicine at the University of Nineveh is committed to achieving excellence in medical education, with the aim of preparing distinguished graduates who are able to serve their communities and pursue advanced training in their specialties.
The College of Medicine at the University of Nineveh accepts students who have graduated from high school, for the current academic year according to the central admission process and the directives of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and annual admission rates. The college is committed to graduating doctors with comprehensive scientific knowledge, clinical skills, and high professional ethics. Our medical curriculum ensures that graduates are able to treat common diseases in their country and contribute to medical research to address health issues. In addition, the college adopts the principles of lifelong learning to ensure continuous professional development.
The study program at our medical college extends for six years. During the first three years of study, students focus on basic medical sciences, establishing a strong scientific base. Starting in the third year and over the next three years, the curriculum shifts to emphasize clinical education. This stage provides students with ample opportunities to interact with patients, develop their clinical skills, and gain practical experience in diverse medical settings, ensuring excellent clinical training. In addition, the college constantly seeks to adopt modern methods of teaching and assessment to enhance the learning experience and ensure the highest standards of academic excellence.
Students are assessed based on the specific learning objectives through annual, mid-year and end-of-course examinations. These summative assessments document the extent to which students have acquired knowledge and skills. In addition, the Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) is conducted in the first three years, and the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in the last three years. Formative assessment is also conducted frequently to enhance student learning and improve the educational process by monitoring student performance. The results of these educational assessments are announced to students on an ongoing basis but are not included in the final assessment
