Institution Profile
Quest International University (QIU) is a comprehensive, res earch-led private university in Ipoh. When QIU was launched in 2011, we had a goal in mind of being more than a degree mill.
Any university can provide its graduates with a degree and an education. But we’re here to produce graduates who change the game. Innovators who leave a legacy in their creations. Leaders who push for positive change. And above all, to produce good people—caring, responsible, respectable individuals who care for their fellow man and the world around them. They are the QIU legacy.
We have made our home in the beautiful state of Perak. Click here to see how we teach, our programmes and our facilities. Or just chat with us.
