The Faculty of Islamic Studies is designed for opening up professional development pathways for those working in religious and/or academic institutions. This program aims to enable students to become reflective practitioners in both religious and/or academic while facilitating further creative and critical thinking. Meanwhile, our doctoral program in Islamic Studies is designed to produce alumni who are critical both to confessional faith-based and scientific academic scholarships, producing originality. The Ph.D. in Islamic Studies aims to enable students to transform the richness of diverse scholarship and practices into distinct critical knowledge.
The faculty of Islamic Studies at UIII offers a Master's program (MA) for the academic year of 2022-2023. The program is designed to produce experts in Islamic studies, who are able to critically combine Islamic sciences with classical and contemporary approaches through interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary perspectives with a focus on Islam and Muslim societies. Students are encouraged to critically engage with the diversity of academic knowledge constructions and to creatively dialogue these constructions with the changing reality to produce creative and critical thinking. The program employs a critical and analytical approach to the study of Islam and Muslim societies. It is designed to open professional development pathways for those working in academic institutions. It is also intended to serve as a platform for future scholars in Islamic studies to explore diverse discourses and practices that have developed in Islam in order to see their subjectivity vis-à-vis universal Islamic values and thus apply the broad knowledge to praxis.
