Our History

The College of Fine Arts was established in the academic year 2003–2004 at Salahaddin University-Erbil to meet the growing need for academic art education in the Kurdistan Region. At the outset in 2004, it included three departments: Sculpture, Music, and Cinema. In 2005, the Theater Department was added. The Sculpture Department includes four divisions: Design, Painting, Sculpture, and Ceramics. The Music Department consists of one general division with no subdivisions. Although Cinema and Theater were initially separate departments, they have since merged into a single Department of Cinema and Theater, which comprises two divisions: Cinema and Theater. For over two decades, the college has played a vital role in promoting artistic education, cultural awareness, and creative expression across the region.
