MA-Equivalent Islamic Studies
Exegesis and Qur’anic Sciences
The MA / PG Dip 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 Programme is structured to benefit students who aspire to continue their studies to a PhD degree and to become future lecturers in the field as well as to those who may seek employment in various fields requiring expertise in Islam.
Alternatively the course would suit those students whose first degree is not in Islamic Studies and are seeking to broaden their understanding of Islam.

Students who successfully complete the Islamic College’s equivalent Programmes can apply for higher degrees at other universities.
