BA-Equivalent Islamic Studies Programme

Throughout this period, this undergraduate (BA) Programmes offered by the College were formally validated by Middlesex University. In effect, the academic quality and standards of the College’s current BA-Equivalent Programmes, structured on the Middlesex University’s standards, remains unchanged.
The new BA-Equivalent in Islamic Studies is academically comparable to a Bachelor’s degree, classified as a Level 6 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 Bachelor’s honours degree. This programmes is designed for personal and professional development.

Course Structure
The Islamic College course in Islamic Studies aims to familiarize students with the key topics, sciences and concepts pertinent to Islam, studying such things as Arabic Language, Islamic Art, Hadith, History, Law, Philosophy, Qur’an, Theology and modern issues. The variety of designated modules offered in years 2 and 3 allow students to pursue specific interests and gain deeper insight into certain fields, or to explore new ones. Due to the wide scope and great depth of the Islamic sciences, the in-house lectures will mostly introduce students to the main issues relevant to the module, which is why students are expected to perform independent reading and individual research in order to cover the width and breadth of the topic. For every 10 credit module students will have 20 hours of class contact which they are expected to complement with at least 80 hours of private work. A full-time student will be expected to study an equivalent of normally 120 credits of modules in each year of study. A module can be described as an independent self-contained component and the building block of a degree course. It consists of a series of lectures, seminars and assignments covering the syllabus of the particular subject, with an assessment at the end. BA Equivalent in Islamic Studies is normally studied full-time over 3 years. Each academic year includes two semesters. It can also be studied as part-time over a period of 5 years. Successful completion of a module in each semester earns students credits – depending on the scope of the module – totalling 60 credits per semester, 120 per first academic year, 120 for the second year, 120 for the third year totalling 360 credits in 3 years, including the completion of the project (30 credits). Each module is allocated a fixed credit weighting which gives an indication of the workload associated with that module.
All Islamic College Students are encouraged to be active and independent learners and to acquire all the necessary skills through a variety of methods of learning such as lectures, seminars (led by staff and students), presentations, tutorials, private study, individual research, and so forth.
Each module within a course has a different assessment weighting. Assessment is by a combination of written examination and essays unless specified otherwise.
This programme was developed and is delivered and assessed by The Islamic College.
