In a move reflecting Wasit University’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals—particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals)—the Department of Media at the College of Arts hosted five professors from Saint Petersburg University in the Russian Federation as external examiners for the graduation research discussions of fourth-stage students from both the morning and evening programs.

The discussions were conducted via the Google Meet platform, with active participation from faculty members of the department, creating an interactive academic atmosphere aimed at enhancing the quality of education and developing students’ research and critical thinking skills through exposure to reputable international academic experiences.

This initiative falls within the department’s efforts to strengthen international academic partnerships and build an educational environment rooted in cultural and intellectual exchange, contributing to the advancement of the educational process in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals and global trends in higher education.
