About the College
The Agricultural Technical College is considered as one of the formations of the Northern Technical University, Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
It was established in 2011 in Mosul and includes three departments: the Department of Plant Production Technologies, the Department of Animal Production Technologies, and the Department of Desertification Control Technologies. It is founded with the aim of preparing advanced staff at the level of a Bachelor of Technology in which students receive theoretical and applied academic aspects in the field of agriculture and its technology. Whereas the graduate grantes the title (Agricultural Technical Engineer) as well as be as a member of the Syndicate Agricultural Engineers and holds its identity.
College Vision
Preparing qualified technical staff in various specializations, including techniques for improving and multiplying field and horticultural crops and protecting plants from pests, as well as preparing competent staff in managing sheep, cattle and fish fields and artificial insemination centres.

College goals
The college’s objectives are to manufacture technical qualifications who have the ability to participate in the labor market efficiently. It also aims to provide specialized knowledge in the principles of agricultural engineering techniques through learning the specializations of plants, soil sciences, horticulture, field crops, the environment, life technologies, agricultural guidance and economics, in addition to modern methods and techniques in dry agriculture as well as water rationing and conservation .
Therefore high skills in various agricultural sciences and specializations are qualified to be able to deal with work. requirements by using modern technical methods and develop the specialized skills necessary in implementing and designing laboratory and field projects in addition to developing the ability to address problems that occur using the resent methods which is used at the global level.
The college also aims to promote the concepts of qualitative and quantitative excellence in order to achieve standards of quality and scientific efficiency.
Thus, one its targets is to enhance the communication skills in order to develope the ability to organize and present information. effectively, whether orally, in writing, or using video and audio communication methods.
Also it aims to graduate a staff who can be capable of working in the basic axes of animal life technology, working in the fields of animals, poultry birds, cows, sheep, and working in the fields of fish farming and dairy manufacturing.
It aims to increase the efficiency of water use by using smart or controlled irrigation techniques based on mobile devices, the Internet, or other means of communication.
The college goals to implement dry farming, water reuse, and water harvesting programs.
It focuses on diagnosing signs of desertification and predicting their effects using computers, resisting wind erosion, and stabilizing sand dunes.
The college plans to produce plant varieties resistant to drought and desert environments.
It also aims to prepare the graduate to be successful in completing his/ her academic. career by obtaining post-baccalaureate certificates and providing broad attention to the problems that arise in professional practice, including teamwork, leadership, occupational safety, ethics, and economics.
