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 Training and Developing Center at Qaiwan International University has organized a 3-week soft skills training course for its staff members and pedagogy students.
On July 7, 2024, Dr. Luqman Siwaili commenced the course by training the participants on Emotional Intelligence, and highlighted its importance in our everyday lives.
