The university began its academic journey with the establishment of "Shatt al-Arab University College" in Basra Governorate on October 5, 1993, pursuant to Order No. (MF/568). Upon its founding, the college comprised only four departments. The college is recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. It is one of the oldest private colleges in Basra Governorate and the fifth in Iraq.

The college aims to raise the scientific and cultural level in Iraq in general, and in Basra in particular, by providing the labor market in both the public and private sectors with distinguished scientific competencies and expertise from its graduates.

Since its founding, Shatt al-Arab College has undergone several stages of development until it was transformed into "Shatt al-Arab University" pursuant to Ministerial Order No. (T H AK/16006) dated July 28, 2024, marking the beginning of a new phase of progress on the scientific and urban levels.

The university currently comprises seven colleges, encompassing seventeen academic departments in two main camps, and is working to establish new departments in the coming years to keep pace with labor market demands and modern academic developments.
