Academic Contributions to Historical Studies in Kufa University 2000-2010 (College of Arts, Department of History as an Example)

Abstract

Academic theses are an important path for achieving science issues, the foundations and rules upon which the scientific method is established built and a new contribution to human knowledge, because the researcher starts from what other researchers ended.

      In this study, the general trend, that draws the dimensions of these contributions in terms of the areas they occupied, sheds light on the study of the Arab world. The study focused on the economic, social and cultural matters of the city of Kufa as an independent approach in the presentation of the historical treatment. However, there were some studies that traced a shift in the curriculum and the vision.                                                                           

         The research came with an introduction explaining the idea of establishing the University of Kufa, establishing the College of Arts and founding postgraduate studies. The first topic was entitled “Outlines of Academic Historical Contributions” and included the temporal dimension, spatial dimension and subject matter and the second one was about the “research tools”. Finally there were a conclusion and the main findings.
