There is a broad range of scientific fields gathered into faculties as part of UIII’s studies in the future. In the first stage, UIII will begin with four Faculties: The Faculty of Islamic Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty of Economics and Business, and Faculty of Education.

The UIII’s teaching program is similar to graduate programs in other higher education institutions, where learning activities are conducted at the graduate and doctoral levels. UIII examines Islam and society through various disciplines, which already have established theories and methodologies. The Indonesian International Islamic University as a university does not incorporate all studies into a single institution but accommodates them in Faculties.

The faculty is an academic institution that brings together and, at the same time, differentiates the branches of knowledge according to its basic tenet and methodology. The faculty accommodates various disciplines of study from the same branch in considerable numbers.
