The Faculty of Humanities and Social Science at Koya University has become an effective academic foundation not only between universities in the Kurdistan region and Iraq, but its name and impact has branched to become prominent among neighboring countries and even over the world. This observed superiority of the Faculty refers to many reasons, such as the specialty of the departments in the faculty and the scientific activities that have been carried out in the last few years.

Faculty of Humanities and Social Science was established in 2004 under the name of College of Engineering; during two years its departments increased to six departments. In 2010, the management and scientific system of Koya University changed into Faculty instead of colleges. Faculty of Engineering works for the fulfillment of some vivid objectives such as using University potentials to serve the benefits of Koya town and Kurdistan Region, and establishing scientific potentials of students in a way that is the same as the world standards on the studying programs implemented by developed countries.
