Abstract
The aim of this research is to design a model of internationalization of universities in emerging markets. The present research is applied in terms of its purpose and quantitative in terms of its implementation. The statistical population of the present research includes 125 faculty members of universities (Sulaymaniyah, Soran, Qayvan and Kumar) and university managers and experts who were selected as samples using the convenience sampling method. The collection tool in the present research is a questionnaire. Structural equation modeling and PLS software were used to analyze the data. The results show that the significance of all variables and sub-components of the research is confirmed at the 0.05 level of confidence and the model of internationalization of universities in Iraqi Kurdistan is statistically valid, reliable and has a good fit. The overall fit value or GOF criterion is 0.484, which indicates a strong overall fit of the research model that can be used as a valid framework for analysis and planning in this field. In addition, universities in Iraqi Kurdistan, given their geographical location and cultural similarities with the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, provide a good opportunity to develop scientific cooperation and attract international students.
