Alimiyyah Programme
The Alimiyyah Programme is designed to provide students with a firm grounding in the Arabic language and Classical Islamic Disciplines. Students begin by getting a solid formation in the Islamic Sciences, studying intermediate texts in a variety of disciplines, before being exposed to broader and more advanced texts.
Students will be educated in both classical texts and applicable contemporary perspectives, thereby cultivating a comprehensive understanding of the religion in the modern era. Students are able to enter the programme at this level directly, conditional on sufficient proficiency in the Arabic language, receipt of satisfactory references and Islamic education history.
Students who successfully complete the Alimiyyah Programme (including written assignments and examinations) will be awarded a Licence in Islamic Scholarship.
1 day a week structure
Through part-time study (one day a week) and a dynamic selection of modules, the course is designed to provide students with a firm grounding in the Arabic language and Classical Islamic Disciplines.

Classes take place for live online attendance in the UK and around the world. We provide online access for all our teaching. This means that students from anywhere in the world can attend the Alimiyyah Programme live as it takes place, as well as study any upcoming short courses from the comfort of their home. The opportunity to livestream these classes means students can still benefit from the classroom environment and interact with teachers during classes.
