The MA Equivalent in Islamic Studies Programme at the Islamic College is aimed at deepening the students’ overall understanding of Islam within historical and modern contexts while providing an opportunity to study the Quran, Hadith and other Islamic texts extensively. The course would also suit those students whose first degree is not in Islamic Studies and are seeking to broaden their understanding of Islam.

MA-Equivalent Islamic Studies 

The Islamic College maintained an academic partnership with Middlesex University for a period of twenty-three years (from 2000 until 2023). Throughout this period, this postgraduate (MA) Programmes offered by the College was formally validated by Middlesex University. In effect, the academic quality and standards of the College’s current MA-Equivalent Programmes, structured on the Middlesex University’s standards, remains unchanged.

This new MA-Equivalent Programme is academically equivalent to a Master’s degree, classified as a Level 7 qualification on the Frameworks for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ) for England. This means the depth of study, intellectual demand, and volume of learning are comparable to a standard UK MA degree. This programme is designed for personal and professional development.

Please note: The final certificate is assessed, verified, and granted solely by The Islamic College. It is the College-certified qualification in Islamic Studies. The Islamic College is an independent institution and although is registered with the Office for Students (OfS) is not a UK degree-awarding body. Accordingly, this qualification is not a UK MA degree. Prospective students should confirm its recognition with employers, professional bodies, or further study providers before enrolling.
