Earth observation via remote sensing is fundamental to understanding spatial and temporal dynamics in natural and human-induced environments. This module focuses exclusively on the physics, platforms, and analytical methods of remote sensing. Students will explore the principles of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, focusing on how different wavelengths interact with the atmosphere and the Earth's surface. The curriculum transitions from the physics of sensing to the operation of active and passive sensors, including multispectral cameras, radar, and laser scanning systems. By applying radiometric and geometric corrections, students will learn to extract meaningful data from raw imagery. Finally, the module emphasizes digital image classification and visual interpretation, providing a strong foundation for integrating advanced machine learning techniques to monitor climate change, environmental degradation, and resource management. 

Nowadays English is used worldwide because it is the language of science, business and technology.  So, it is essential for every educated person to have some knowledge about this global language. That is why Ministry of Higher Education has included Academic English module in the curriculum of all departments in the universities of Kurdistan. The inclusion of this course will help the students’ knowledge and skills in: reading and understanding academic texts, listening to lectures and presentations, writing sentences, paragraphs and different essential essay types, participating in seminars and group discussions and preparing and giving simple presentations. 
The current course is designed especially for the third semester (Humanities Departments) and second semester (Scientific Departments) students in all departments at university of Zakho. It covers the basic communication skills in English: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Speaking and listening focuses on both the receptive and productive skills needed to be successful in an academic environment. Reading uses extracts from authentic academic textbooks. Writing focuses on some of the most important aspects of academic writing such as writing sentences and simple paragraphs. All the mentioned skills will enable students to interact with the outer world effectively.
