History

• Before 1987 the province had no university of its own, and secondary-school graduates from Ramadi, Fallujah and Haditha travelled to Baghdad University or Mustansiriyah University to obtain a degree.1987 年以前，安巴尔省没有自己的大学，拉马迪、费卢杰与哈迪塞的中学毕业生要前往巴格达大学或穆斯坦西里亚大学才能取得学位。
• The university was founded in 1987 with two colleges, the College of Education for Women and the College of Education for the Humanities, both intended to train teachers for a province whose population was growing quickly.该校于 1987 年以两个学院创立，即女子教育学院与人文学教育学院，两者都旨在为人口快速增长的安巴尔省培养教师。
• Its creation belonged to the last phase of Iraq's oil-funded expansion of higher education, when the Ba'ath government opened universities in several governorates during the Iran-Iraq war.该校的创立属于伊拉克以石油收入推动的高等教育扩张的后期阶段，当时复兴党政府在两伊战争期间于数个省份开办大学。
• Nine further colleges were established on the Ramadi campus during the 1990s, adding engineering, administration and economics, computer science, arts, physical education and Islamic sciences to the original two.1990 年代，拉马迪校区又设立九个学院，在原有两院之外增加了工程、管理与经济、计算机科学、文学、体育与伊斯兰学科。
• The Gulf War of 1991 and the sanctions that followed cut laboratory equipment, journals and foreign training, and the university spent the decade teaching with ageing facilities and limited supplies.1991 年海湾战争及随后的制裁切断了实验设备、期刊与海外培训渠道，学校在整个 1990 年代只能依靠老化的设施与有限的物资教学。
• After the fall of the Ba'ath regime in 2003 the university was reorganised under the new Ministry of Higher Education, and its colleges expanded as student numbers rose across Anbar.2003 年复兴党政权倒台后，学校在新成立的高等教育部之下重组，随着安巴尔学生人数上升，其学院规模也逐步扩大。
• The insurgency that followed the invasion hit Anbar harder than any other province, and the battles of Fallujah in 2004 disrupted teaching and forced the university to operate under security restrictions.入侵之后的叛乱使安巴尔成为受冲击最严重的省份，2004 年的费卢杰战役打乱了教学秩序，学校不得不在严格的安全限制下运转。
• The Anbar Awakening of 2006 and 2007, in which tribal fighters turned against al-Qaeda, brought a measure of stability that allowed the university to resume a normal academic calendar.2006 至 2007 年的安巴尔觉醒运动中，部落武装转而对抗基地组织，带来一定程度的稳定，使学校得以恢复正常的教学日历。
• In 2011 the institution was reorganised as a full university with 18 colleges, 66 scientific departments and six research centres, the structure it retains today.2011 年，学校重组为拥有 18 个学院、66 个科学系与 6 个研究中心的完整大学，这一结构延续至今。

• Anbar is Iraq's largest governorate by area, stretching from the edge of Baghdad to the Syrian and Jordanian borders, and until 1987 its school leavers had to leave home to study, a gap the new university was created to close.安巴尔是伊拉克面积最大的省，从巴格达近郊一直延伸到叙利亚与约旦边境，1987 年以前当地毕业生必须离乡求学，新大学的创立正是为了填补这一空白。
