Cihan Departments' Ranking (CDR)

The Departments Ranking at Cihan Uninersity - Erbil (CDR) was founded in 2021. CDR provides the definitive list of the CUE best Departments. The data are trusted by the Directorate of Quality Assurance at CUE. They are a vital resource for academics and students.

The CDR:-

1. It is a comparison tool between the CUE Departments.

2. Is also use to measure how the Department vision meets the University vision , and consequently, the National University Ranking (NUR).

3. Can rank the most effective criteria among the Departments at CUE.

4. The mechanism of CDR is based on evaluating the Departments in different aspects, assessing and ranking them. CDR is based on evaluation that sets a benchmark against which Department performance in certain aspects, that based on the vision of the CUE, can be assessed. CDR depends on two different types of evaluation, namely; peer review evaluation and bibliometric evaluation.

The following three majors are evaluated by NUR:

1. University Evaluation

2. Academic Evaluation

3. Various levels of Research Evaluation

The Idea behind establishing and implementing NUR is to:

1. Assisting CUE to update/modify its vision to meet the MHE vision.

2. Assisting CUE to adapt the culture of international ranking.

3. Assisting CUE to focus on their weakness and strength points.

4. Assisting CUE to market themselves.

5. Assisting CUE to improve their online presence.

6. Assisting CUE to improve their presence in different international ranking.

7. Consequently, we believe that CDR will create a better environment for teaching and research and this will definitely support the higher education in KRG.
