Description
-
The University of London has a long history of awarding degrees to students studying in centres around the world as ‘external students’. The University helped to establish Universities right across the Commonwealth, and set and marked examinations for many more. The University’s first official centre in Baghdad was established in 1923, some 35 years before teaching began at the University of Baghdad, and close relations between the two institutions persisted for decades. This sculpture was a gift to mark the visit of the Rector of the University of Baghdad in 1972.
