      • 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. 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.

      The university signed a memorandum of understanding with Durham University, UK, in 2023 to develop capacity in heritage protection, including training of the university's staff and students in archaeological surveying and lab techniques by Durham's Department of Archaeology. As part of this collaboration, researchers ad Al-Qadisiyah and Durham pinpointed the location of the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah using declassified US spy satellite images.


      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). 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.

      In addition to the main campus, there are smaller campuses sprawled in and around the city of Diwaniya:

      Medicine & Nursing Campus @ Diwaniya Teaching Hospital
      Law Campus across from the Provincial Government Building
      Engineering campus located across from the main train station
      Education campus located near the College of Engineering
      Veterinary campus located on the northern edge of the city for better access to farms
