The University of Mosul ( Arabic جامعة الموصل, DMG Ǧāmiʿat al-Mauṣil ) is a state university in Mosul , Iraq . It was founded in 1967.
It is divided into 23 faculties , which are spread over three campuses. The oldest faculty is that of medicine. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering is one of the newer faculties.
