The University of Baghdad ( Arabic جامعة بغداد Jāmi'at Baghdād , DMG ǧāmiʿat Baġdād ) is the largest university in Baghdad , Iraq . After the University of Cairo, it is considered the second largest university in the Arab world .
The buildings were designed by Walter Gropius in the 1960s. It was originally planned that a new university for science, engineering and the liberal arts would be created with a total capacity for a total of 6,800 students. The campus was expanded in 1982 to accommodate 20,000 students. The architects Hisham N. Ashkouri and Robert Owen developed the complete academic space organization for the campus.
