The University of Al-Qadisiyah (Arabic: جامعة القادسية) is an Iraqi university established in 1987 in Al Diwaniyah, Qadisiyyah Province, Iraq.

History

The University of Al-Qadisiyah was established on 23 December 1987 through a resolution (no. 159) passed by the Revolutionary Command Council of the Saddam era.[13] The resolution ordered the establishment of four universities; the University of Al-Qadisiyah, the University of Kufa, the University of Tikrit, and the University of Anbar.[14] Originally, the University of Al-Qadisiyah began with two colleges; the College of Education and the College of Business and Administration. There has been a vast increase in this number though, as today, the university encompasses 18 colleges in addition to a number of learning centers.[15]

Campuses

Al-Qadisiyah is located between a strict conservative society to the west (the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala), and the more liberal alternative to the north (Hilla, and Baghdad).[16] The result is a mix between conservative and liberal styling in campus planning and student life. The main campus is located on the north-western edge of the city of Diwaniya. The majority of the university's colleges along with the main administrative building are found here.

  • Education campus located near the College of Engineering
  • Veterinary campus located on the northern edge of the city for better access to farms
