Shaping UOD’s Global Image Through Trusted Academic Storytelling
At the heart of the University of Duhok’s public voice is its News Division, led by the University Press Office (UNPO) and supported by the dedicated professionals of the Directorate of Media and Public Relations (DOPR). Together, this team works tirelessly to produce, audit, and share timely, structured, and meaningful academic news that represents UOD’s excellence to the world.
News is more than just announcements — it is a form of academic communication that brings visibility to the University’s achievements, inspires student and faculty pride, and connects UOD with global audiences. From scientific breakthroughs to student initiatives, ceremonial highlights to faculty milestones, DOPR ensures that every story published builds the University’s credibility and digital legacy.
