About Us
Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII), or the Indonesian International Islamic University (IIIU), was founded by the Indonesian government with the aim of becoming an international standard tertiary education institution. It is designed to be a leading provider of education in Islamic studies, social sciences, humanities, and technological sciences.
The Indonesian government is eager to establish a world-class Islamic university that not only explores Islamic studies but also demonstrates that Islamic civilization in Indonesia can positively contribute to the discovery of knowledge and the preservation of world civilization. The Faculty of Islamic Studies at UIII offers Master of Arts (MA) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs in Islamic Studies.
These programs are designed to produce experts in Islamic studies who are well-versed in both classical Islamic texts and modern academia. The Faculty has three MA program concentrations: MA in Islamic Studies , MA Dual Degree with the University of Edinburgh and SOAS, and MA fi al-Turāth al-Islāmī (in Arabic).
