The Catholic University in Erbil (CUE) is a private non-profit institution of higher education and research located in the Erbil suburb of Ankawa, Kurdistan Region

It was founded in December 2015 by the Kurdistan Regional Government Archbishop Bashar Warda of the Chaldean Catholic Church, and provides degrees in the arts and sciences recognized by the Kurdistan Regional Government.[3]

Its foundation stone was laid on 20 October 2012. 30,000 square metres of land were made available for the campus.[4] The Italian Episcopal Conference gave 2.3 million euros for the project,[1] and the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik in Lebanon was contacted for help and guidance.[5]

CUE is an open academic community, based in the best tradition of higher education, dedicated to forming the next generation of leaders to serve with professional excellence in Kurdistan, Iraq and internationally, for the common good, and the dignity of the human person. As a member of the worldwide community of Catholic University, CUE will be able to introduce its students to some of the finest scholars in the world who will regularly be present as professors and teachers here on the CUE campus. CUE students will also have the ability to communicate and participate virtually with our partner universities in Australia, USA and Europe.
