The wife of Iraq's president has delivered a massive gift to Exeter University during a secret visit to the city.

Hero Ibrahim Ahmed has handed a £500,000 donation to the university, confirming its position as a world leader in Kurdish studies.

The money comes from the Ibrahim Ahmed Foundation to fund a new professorship in Kurdish studies.

Hero, wife of President Jalal Talabani and a director of the foundation, visited Exeter to talk to academics. A highlight of the trip was the official naming of the Ibrahim Ahmed Room, at the university's historic Reed Hall, in recognition of the donation. A previous donation by the foundation to the university funded a lectureship in Kurdish studies.
