MA-Equivalent Islamic Law
Islamic Law
Due to the growing number of Muslims in the UK, as well as the growing interest towards Islamic law and its branches in Western countries in general, and in the UK in particular, the Islamic college is offering this Progamme. The Progamme is structured to require expertise in Islamic law and its related branches, as well as those who seek to carry on their studies to become future lecturers or practitioners in the field.
The Islamic College is registered with the OfS but is neither an awarding body nor validated by another awarding body. Nevertheless, all academic programmes delivered at The Islamic College are fully compatible with the academic programmes in the field of Islamic Studies at the high-ranking international academic institutes and universities. Graduates will be provided with a certificate of completion from the Islamic College for their equivalent academic level of study. An Equivalent academic level is a qualification which is comparable to other formal qualifications in terms of its content and standard, and the knowledge and skills it provides.
Equivalent Programmes are designed to provide all those who are interested in acquiring in-depth knowledge about various branches of Islamic Studies regardless of their previous academic background, with an enhanced and systematic understanding of diverse topics in Islamic Studies such as Islamic Philosophy, Islamic Theology (Kalam), Mysticism, Quranic Studies, Hadith Studies, Fiqh and Usul-al-Fiqh, and History of Islam.
