The Faculty of Literature and Foreign Languages officially began its independent teaching and research activities in October 2012. This faculty was already was part of the Faculty of Literature and Humanities. It is
worth mentioning that the disbanded Faculty of Literature and Humanities was
established in 1991 as the second faculty of the University of Kurdistan, but it had started its teaching activities much earlier in 1976 by accepting
students majoring in English language teacher training and later establishing
14 departments.
