Who we are
A private institute with a public purpose.
Since 2013, Kurdistan Private Institute has opened its doors to students from across the Kurdistan Region, offering a modern academic education in the fields that matter most to the labour market — from computer science to accounting and administration.
Our classes are kept to a size that lets teaching reach its best, our lecturers are working practitioners in their own fields, and every department holds a firm relationship with the firms, offices and institutions of Erbil so that what students learn in theory rests on real practical experience.
We measure ourselves by what our graduates can do on their first day of work.
