Qaiwan International University (QIU) was established in 2018 in Sulaimanyah, Kurdistan
Region of Iraq. It was initially established as a franchise of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
(UTM), aiming to provide local students with access to international education without the
need to study abroad, thereby reducing the financial burden on students and their families.
Later in 2022, QIU expanded its offerings by introducing additional programs franchised by
Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), further diversifying its educational portfolio.
The study period for students is by the number of academic semesters as the following:
Diploma Programme (Full-Time) Five (5) to six (6) semesters of study.
Bachelor’s Degree Programme (Full-Time) Up to six (6) semesters of study for a three (3) year programme. Up to eight (8) semesters of study for a four (4) year programme.
