~My University~
There is absolutely no other Islamic University in the world
like the IIUM. It is the only Islamic university which uses English as its
medium of instruction and administration since its inception. It blends in a
creative and harmonious fashion the modern and professional disciplines with
traditional values and moral virtues. Its female students population is more
than the male and students come from more than 90 countries. Right from its
inception, IIUM has spared no effort to ensure that it provides the best
tertiary education possible in all branches of knowledge. It scours the entire
world in its recruitment exercises, for it would employ the most accomplished
scholars for its academic departments and appoint committed professionals to
run its administration. Its state-of-the-art facilities—physical and
otherwise—are the envy of other institutions. And its graduates are among the
most sought-after by employers looking for knowledgeable and skilful
professionals who, in addition, are committed to moral and ethical value.
"To be an international centre of
educational excellence which integrates Islamic revealed knowledge and values
in all disciplines and which aspires to the restoration of the Ummah's leading
role in all branches of knowledge"
IIUM is a dream come true for the whole Muslim world by
unifying reason with revelation, science with religion and ethics with
professional courses. This is a place where great leaders of the future are
being nurtured and trained. Besides it excides the spirit of optimism and
moderation. Its establishment in 1983 was the fulfilment of one of the major
aspirations of the contemporary global Muslim community to regain the Ummah's
leadership in the quest for knowledge. This yearning of the Ummah is a key
element in IIUM's vision statement:
"INSPIRED BY THE WORLD-VIEW OF TAWHID AND THE ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY OF THE UNITY OF KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AS ITS CONCEPT OF HOLISTIC EDUCATION"
