The Physiotherapy Department at Tishk International University (TIU) is immensely proud to announce that on June 3, 2026, our exceptional student, Ali Fadhil Kanje, successfully participated in the 2nd Student Graduation Project Competition (SGPC-2026).

Serving as the dedicated group leader, Ali presented their research project titled:

“Levels and correlates of Physical activity among undergraduate university students in Erbil – Kurdistan: A cross-sectional study”

This presentation showcased a high level of academic rigor and public speaking skill in front of a distinguished panel and audience.

Key Advantages of Participating in the SGPC

Stepping onto a competitive platform like the SGPC offers profound benefits for our future healthcare professionals:

  • Fostering Leadership & Teamwork: Managing a comprehensive cross-sectional study requires strong coordination. Leading a research cohort hones crucial management skills essential for running multidisciplinary clinical teams in the future.

  • Advancing Evidence-Based Practice: Investigating local physical activity levels directly contributes to the regional data pool in Kurdistan. This strengthens the students’ ability to evaluate data, a core skill for any evidence-based physiotherapist.

  • Enhancing Professional Communication: Presenting complex research before a live audience and answering critical questions builds immense professional confidence and public speaking eloquence.

  • Networking and Visibility: Competing at a university-wide level exposes our students to academic experts, peers from various departments, and external professionals, opening doors for future collaborations and career opportunities.

Heartiest Congratulations!

We extend our warmest congratulations to Ali Fadhil Kanje and his entire project group for this stellar achievement! Taking on the responsibility of a group leader and executing a project of this scale is a massive milestone.
