According to its press release, QIUP takes its quest for education very seriously and has attracted the best academicians from across the nation.

No doubt the strongest pillar of the university, its lecturers are passionate, industry-savvy, highly acclaimed and highly intelligent.

Students will benefit tremendously from their knowledge, experiences and networks.

QIUP’s foundation programmes are a great way for students to develop practical and academic skills after SPM to help them embark on their journey towards higher education.

The Foundation in Business, Science and Arts programme has a practical focus with a range of hands-on-experiences where students will gain the confidence, skills and knowledge to help them participate effectively in tertiary study.

They will also explore a selection of QIUP programmes to help them plan their future studies in diploma or degree programmes.

QIUP’s quest is to develop all-round graduates to not only excel in their studies but also actively participate in various conferences, educational competitions and sports during their studies there.

The men’s futsal team was recently crowned as champion of the MASISWA North Zone Sports Carnival 2016 while the women’s team was runner-up in the 2015 competition.

Other sports competitions participated in by QIUP undergraduates include basketball, badminton and chess.

Besides sports, its undergraduates also participate in various educational competitions and have achieved outstanding results.

QIUP recently clinched podium finishes in three categories at the 2017 National English Olympics (NEO17) competition held at Universiti Teknologi Petronas.

In the storytelling competition, Sahibzada Mubashir Noor was crowned champion, winning the gold medal after he mesmerised the judges and the crowd with his skills.
