According to the Public Relations Office of the University of Kurdistan, the esteemed Times Higher Education ranking platform has innovatively released the results of its first-ever Interdisciplinary Science Rankings (ISR). The University of Kurdistan was authoritatively placed in the 401-500 global bracket, ranking alongside renowned universities such as Bu-Ali Sina, Razi, Yazd, and Urmia.

A Novel Ranking Focused on Quality and Scientific Collaboration
Developed in partnership with the Schmidt Science Fellows institute, this ranking, unlike traditional systems, does not solely rely on the quantity of publications. Its primary criterion is the ability of universities to transcend single-disciplinary boundaries and form collaborative research teams to address complex global challenges—a testament to the scientific maturity and efficacy of a higher education institution.

Research Quality: The University of Kurdistan's Key Strength
A detailed analysis of the data reveals that the university's main strength lies in its outstanding performance in the "Research Outputs" indicator, with a high score of 42.7. This score, which surpasses even some of its peer universities, attests to the high quality, prestige, and significant impact of the university's interdisciplinary research at the frontiers of global knowledge.

A Firm Step Towards the University of the Future
Inclusion in this prestigious list is more than just a rank; it signifies the University of Kurdistan's strategic transition from a traditional educational center towards a third and fourth-generation (entrepreneurial and community-oriented) university. This valuable achievement, resulting from the tireless efforts of faculty members, researchers, and students, paves the way for attracting elite talent, securing international research grants, and enhancing the university's global standing.
