Al-Mahdi Institute is proud to announce the launch of the Postgraduate Diploma in Islamic Studies (PGDip.) – a 7-month online course that bridges the depth of seminary (ḥawza) learning with the critical rigour of academic scholarship. Designed for students and researchers with a background in Islamic Studies, Social Sciences, or the Humanities, the PGDip. is entirely in English, without the requirement for Arabic language proficiency.
This PGDip. is ideal for those seeking a critical and analytical approach to Islamic thought while balancing professional or academic commitments, with just 3 hours of teaching per week. Graduates will also have the opportunity to progress to a fully funded MA in Islamic Studies, in collaboration with the University of Birmingham.
Applications for the PGDip. starting on 1st October 2025, are now open! Limited funding is available, and we encourage early applications to be considered for funding.
