The Islamic University of Madinah (Arabic: الجامعة الإسلامية بالمدينة المنورة) was founded by the government of Saudi Arabia by a royal decree in 1961 in the Islamic holy city of Medina.[2] Many have associated the university with the Salafi ideology, and have stated it has exported Salafi-inclined theologians around the world.[3][4][5][6][7] Other disagree and state that the institution is objectivitive and scientific, being detached to any singular ideology.[8] The university received institutional academic accreditation without exceptions from the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment in April 2017.[9]
This university is designated only for Muslim male students.[10]
Islamic science colleges[edit]
University students may study Sharia, Qur'an, Usul al-din and Hadith, while non-native speakers may also study Arabic language.[11][12] The university offers Bachelor of Arts, Master's and Doctorate degrees.[13] Studies at the College of Sharia Islamic law were the first to start when the university opened. It offers scholarship programs for students with accommodation and living expenses covered.
Recently added colleges[edit]
In 2009, the university opened a Faculty of Engineering.[14] In 2011 the university opened a Faculty of Computer and Information Science.[15] In 2012, the university opened a Faculty of Science for the first time.[16][17] In 2019, the university announced that it would open a faculty of Judiciary Studies.[18]
Online degrees[edit]
In 2019, the university announced that it would begin to offer online degrees through a new e-learning and distance education program.[19] The university currently offers an online bachelor of arts in Sharia and a certificate-granting program in Arabic language for non-native speakers.[20][21]
