The Islamic University of Madinah (Arabic: الجامعة الإسلامية بالمدينة المنورة) is a public Islamic university in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Established by King Saud bin Abdulaziz in 1961,[1] the institute is said to have been associated with Salafism, while claiming to have exported Salafi-inclined theologians around the world.[2][3][4][5][6] Others disagree and state that the institution is objective and scientific, being detached to any singular ideology.[7] It received institutional academic accreditation without exceptions from the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment in April 2017.[8]
This university is designated only for Muslim male students.[9]
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. The university offers Bachelor of Arts, Master's and Doctorate degrees.[10] 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.[citation needed]
Recently added colleges
[edit]In 2009, the university opened a Faculty of Engineering.[11] In 2011 the university opened a Faculty of Computer and Information Science.[12] In 2012, the university opened a Faculty of Science for the first time.[13][14] In 2019, the university announced that it would open a faculty of Judiciary Studies.[15]
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.[16] The university currently offers an online bachelor of arts in Sharia and a certificate-granting program in Arabic language for non-native speakers.[17][18]
