University of Al-Qadisiyah

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. 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. 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.
