International Islamic University Malaysia

ABOUT

Created in 1983, IIUM-International Islamic University Malaysia is a public research institute in Malaysia. The University is funded by OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperations), an organization of 57 Islamic countries. It was based on Islamic principles and offered various Islamic studies and scientific research programs. Also, it may seem like the University has roots with its counterparts in Bangladesh and Pakistan, but that is not the case.

The philosophy of this institute is inspired by the outcomes of the First Conference on Muslim Education held in 1977 at Makkah. International Islamic University Malaysia integrates worldview and Islamic values into its scientific, technical and humanities curriculum, befitting IIUM slogan ‘Garden of Knowledge and Virtue’. This is mirrored in the IIUM logo and its educational philosophy. The University aspires to restore the roles of Muslims in knowledge creation. Education and acquisition contribute to improving and enhancing the quality of life for all humankind. Students at the University are trained to be responsible, imbued with good ethics, professionalism and high moral values, lifelong learning, entrepreneurial and managerial as well as leadership qualities.
