The College of Science is one of the Colleges of the University of Baghdad in Baghdad, Iraq. It was the first scientific college established in Iraq. The main academic activities held in this college vary between pure and applied science. Beside its eight departments, the college also holds two research units. Being one of the earliest academic institutes formed in the Republic of Iraq, the College of Science establishment marked the (Day of Science). This college was established on March 27, 1949, with the name of (The College of Arts and Science). The college was established with five scientific departments, namely: (Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Pathology and Anatomy). The Pathology and Anatomy departments were later joined together to form the (Department of Biology). Beside these, another four departments were added during the next fifty years, these are: Department of Geology (1953), Department of Computer Science (1983), Department of Astronomy (1998) and Department of Biotechnology (1999). The eight departments cover a wide range of branches of pure and applied sciences, which attracts many students as well as scientific researchers each year. Therefore, this college is considered as the largest scientific academic institute in the Republic of Iraq.
The College of Science publishes three journals of pure and applied science, mainly attributed to the improvement of its faculty members as well as recent and noted researches from others. Being a nationally-marked scientific college, the journals published in this college maintain an important degree of importance in Iraq. Since there is a wide range of topics covered by the departments of the college, its published journals also cover many general and specific research fields. The journals published at the College of Science-University of Baghdad are:
The college organizes a major scientific conference every two years in which scientific researches are presented discussed. Such conferences do not focus on one specific branch of science, but on a wide range of science fields, specially those fields falling within the college eight departments' specialty. The most recent general scientific conference held was on March the 6th,2009 in a celebration of the 60th anniversary of the college. Occasionally, a symposium or group meeting is held in an individual department when needed, to present and discuss an explicit scientific application or phenomena.
