The British Council is the United Kingdom’s international organisation for  cultural relations and educational opportunities.   We connect people with learning opportunities and creative ideas from the UK and aim to build lasting relationships  between the UK and Iraq.
Our links with Iraq and its great tradition of culture, science and academic achievement go back a long way and have been very strong - we first opened in Iraq in 1940 - and we are delighted to be renewing them now.

Education is the focus of our re-engagement with Iraq, working in partnership with Iraqi institutions and individuals to reconnect Iraq with the international educational community and sharing the UK’s experience to help design Iraqi solutions to Iraq’s challenges.
If you need more detailed information on our services in Iraq, and how they can be of use to you, please visit britishcouncil/iraq.
