Why Quality Assurance?

Qaiwan International University (QIU) is made up of varied groups of students, academics and administrative personnel who are responsible for providing an international level of education in a variety of fields. The primary goal of QA is to guarantee that high-quality education is provided, that globally accepted academic standards are met, and that students are equipped with knowledge and skills that are applicable to the local and global job market. Our QA procedures and processes are compliant with the Quality Assurance policies of a number of foreign universities, as well as the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research policy.

Teaching Quality Assurance (TQA)

TQA focuses on reporting, keeping track of things, and making decisions. It also includes teaching and learning process. Evaluation and feedback from students are important steps in making sure the quality of work is high. All members of QIU academic staff are experiencing a number of assessments by the students, Heads of Departments (HoD), Deans of Faculties (DoF) and by the Presidency. The performances of HoDs and DoFs, both academically and managerially, are assessed by the academic staff and QIU top management.

Continuous Academic development (CAD)

This program is about various academic activities that are held weekly in all faculties and departments at QIU. The main objective of this program is to update the knowledge of the academic staff and to assure our under-graduate (UG) students of the academic standards offered within the University.

The minimum CAD scoring list is shown below:

QIU believes that the good and the most effective method of updating education is through active participation. This can only be achieved by research, analysis and presenting research outcomes at seminars and workshops organized by faculties. All academic staff under the supervision of the DoF will lay down a plan periodically for the academic seminars, workshops, and any type of academic activities. At the beginning of each semester they share a list of activities with their titles with the directorate of QA. This may encourage exchange visits among academics of different institutes in the Kurdistan Region.
