actually it has more arabic in it. but then again, farsi seems to have just become a dialect of arabic so I guess it's okay to say it has a lot of farsi in it.

anyways, University is Zanko and Engineering is Endazyan. The others I only heard people use Arabic words or English, like for bachelors - bakaloria and masters - majestir.

Lets just make it clear - Kurs NORTH of Mehabad have little or no Farsî or Arabic words... ;) Where I am from - Urmiyeh we have almost no loanwords - we have words for most things that are here in Europe too... But I guess it only depends on how your parents teach you - My parents didn't allow us to speak other languages at home... So we are used to speakig it and we have had education in Kurdish my siblings and I...

Heval is right - For education they use English terms... Just like everywhere else...

Zanko - Zaningeh - Zanaxane - etc etc etc... Just use a little creativity... ;)
