Starting next academic year, the University of Warwick will offer a one term course, the “Postgraduate Award in Islamic Education”, which is designed to bridge the gap between Islamic seminaries and modern tertiary education. This will be the first course of its kind to be offered at any UK university.
The access course is targeted at educators and potential academics. Students from seminaries will have the chance to learn Western pedagogy and academic skills, and upon successful completion may choose to continue on to the Islamic Education pathway MA (Masters degree) in Religions, Society, and Education.
The course is not just on offer for graduates of seminaries: those interested in progressing onto the MA degree but who lack the necessary Bachelor degree may also choose to take the course. According to the university website, there will be a focus on studying the rich history of education in Islam as well as engaging with modern theory.
According to new QS Rankings for 2019, Warwick is 10th in the UK and 54th in the World.
