2 z Introduction Cambridge Muslim College is a theological college established in 2009 in order to develop Muslim faith leadership. Its mission is to provide world-class education, training and research that is rooted in the rich intellectual heritage of Islamic civilisation and responsive to the ideas and circumstances of the modern world. The College is now accepting applications for its new Four-Year Programme in Contextual Islamic Studies, which will start with a one-year Prerequisite Arabic Intensive course in September 2016, delivered in partnership with Qasid Institute ( in Amman. This will lead on to the planned three-year B.A. in Contextual Islamic Studies taught in Cambridge and starting in September This programme is rooted in authentic Islamic scholarship and engaged with the pressing issues of our time. It allows students to remain true to their own tradition while also exploring how it relates to urgent contemporary challenges, such as the development of science and technology, relations between different religions and cultures, environmental change, conflict over natural resources, and many others. There is currently no such course available in the UK, and its provision will be a uniquely significant contribution to the development of Islamic knowledge and leadership at a time of urgent need. 2
3 Background Since its foundation, the College has supported the development of scholarship and teaching that unites the traditional Islamic sciences with the expertise and knowledge of modern research and practice. This is not only an obvious need within the contemporary Muslim community, but a process entirely in keeping with the dynamic processes of intellectual and cultural renewal throughout Muslim history. The College began its teaching with the ongoing one-year Diploma in Contextual Islamic Studies and Leadership, now in its seventh year of delivery. This programme is designed to help those who already possess significant training in the the Islamic sciences to develop, articulate and implement their knowledge effectively in Britain today. The new Four-Year Programme will itself provide an extensive grounding in the fundamentals of the traditional Islamic sciences, alongside the study of contemporary issues and disciplines relevant to the application of the tradition today. The programme focuses in the first year on the intensive study of Classical Arabic, in order to allow students to work with relevant fundamental texts in their original language. The Core Curriculum of the subsequent three years focuses on Islamic Studies through the study of classical texts, drawing most importantly on the core curriculum of the al-fath Academy (Ma had al-fath) in Damascus but also on the programme at al-azhar University. In addition, the programme will include a set of modules in Contextual Knowledge and Skills, based on many of the elements of the well-established Diploma course. These are designed to allow students to think about how to contextualise and apply their learning in Islamic Studies in the most appropriate and beneficial ways. 3
4 Programme Aims The aims of the Four-Year Programme are: 1 To teach students the fundamental themes of the Islamic tradition as historically interpreted by the leading scholars of mainstream Islamic thought and practice; 2 To teach students how the Islamic tradition as a coherent intellectual and spiritual body of knowledge developed over time and responded to changing historical circumstances; 3 In the light of this knowledge, to allow students to examine ways in which contemporary thought and society might challenge, reinforce or reshape the Islamic tradition; 4 To equip students with relevant intellectual and practical skills that will help them articulate and apply their knowledge and understanding of the Islamic tradition in contemporary society. Entry Requirements UK applicants will be expected to have achieved at least three B grades at A-Level. Applicants still studying for A-Levels should give their predicted grades and the best eight GCSEs achieved. Applicants who have completed A-Levels do not need to provide GCSE results. Preference will be given to students with A-Level results in humanities subjects. The College recognises the Critical Thinking A-Level as a valid qualification for the purposes of an application. A good performance in Key Skills and General Studies may also be an advantage. Mature students who already have a first degree are exempted from these requirements and are judged on the relevance of their qualification as well as their final-year classmark. EU students are expected to have a high grade in their leaving examination such as the French Baccalaureate or the German Abitur. If English is not your first language we require a minimum overall IELTS grade of 7.5, usually with 7.0 or above in each element; or a grade A or B in Cambridge English (Advanced). Students who already have a sufficient command of Classical Arabic equivalent to or better than that required to pass the Prerequisite Arabic Intensive course in Year One may be offered a place to start the programme in Year Two (starting September 2017), subject to successful completion of a written assessment taken at the College during the interview stage. The College is currently only able to accept applications from students holding full UK or EU passports, or visas demonstrating the right to fulltime study in the UK. 4
5 Programme Structure Part I: Prerequisite Arabic Intensive (Year One) This part of the programme is designed to give students a sufficient command of Classical Arabic to allow them to understand and analyse Arabic texts as a fundamental element of their overall learning. The language teaching will use methods and materials designed to familiarise students with classical texts and approaches in preparation for their subsequent studies. Further details of the Classical Arabic programme at Qasid are available here: Please note that the exact programme at Qasid for College students is tailored and does not correspond exactly to their standard programme. Part II: Contextual Islamic Studies (Years Two-Four) This part of the programme comprises: i) the Core Curriculum, all the modules of which are compulsory, examining the core disciplines of mainstream classical Islam, with an emphasis on access to the texts in the original Arabic. Teaching will focus on the main themes of the Islamic revelation as interpreted by the leading scholars of mainstream classical Islam, drawing on these to explore the coherence of the tradition and also to illuminate its relationship to cultural and intellectual change over time and Muslim responses to modern challenges. In addition to the thematic modules, students will be required to memorise sections of the Qur an and some hadith. Please note that in the Islamic Law modules, fiqh with be taught primarily with reference to the Hanafi school, as being the madhhab of the large majority of UK Muslims, and also the Muslims of major European communities such as Germany, Turkey, Bosnia and the Russian Federation. If significant numbers of followers of another school are registered in a given year, arrangements will be made for the teaching of their madhhab also, according to the system applied at Al-Azhar University. The College cannot guarantee the availability of instructors in Hanbali fiqh. ii) Contextual Knowledge and Skills, a set of modules designed to complement the Core Curriculum by giving students a broad base of knowledge and skills in relevant disciplines and areas of practice. This will focus on the study of contemporary issues and on understanding comparative approaches to knowledge in the modern context, particularly other faith perspectives, scientific thought and modernsecular criticisms of religious belief, in order to facilitate students assessment and application of the Islamic tradition in contemporary society.. 5

10 Qualifications Offered The Prerequisite Arabic Intensive course in Year One is offered in partnership with Qasid Institute ( in Amman, Jordan, whose programmes are validated by California State University at San Bernadino, CA. The award of a degree with B.A. status upon completion of the remaining three years of the programme is subject to validation by a UK university with Degree Awarding Powers. The College is actively engaged in securing this validation from a major UK university and hopes to be able to register students under an external validation agreement by September 2017 in time for the start of Year Two of this programme. Students admitted to the Four- Year Programme will be kept informed of the progress of this process. If the College is unable to agree any external validation with an appropriate provider by September 2017, Years Two to Four of this programme will be internally validated by the College, which aligns all its teaching and learning with the relevant standards of the UK higher education sector. The programmes will be delivered according to the unique values and high standards of the College.

13 Student Life Cambridge is famous as the site of one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Along with the universities of al-qarawiyyin, al-azhar, Bologna, Paris and Oxford, the University of Cambridge is one of the world s oldest centres of learning. Among its many distinguished alumni have been notable Muslim scholars and leaders of the past such as Abdullah Yusuf Ali and Muhammad Iqbal, but also contemporary scholars of Islam including College Board Members Abdal Hakim Murad, now Lecturer in Islamic Studies at the university, and Prof. Muhammad Abdel Haleem, Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of London. Cambridge continues to be a vibrant intellectual centre, home now to both the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University. The Cambridge Muslim College and its students are well-placed to benefit from this rich heritage and current resources. Through the teaching of the College and the public lectures and events in the city, College students participate in the intellectual and social life of one of the great university cities of the world. Cambridge also has a growing and diverse Muslim community, both local residents and students from all over the UK and the world. More than 700 people regularly pray jum ah at the city s main mosque just five minutes walk from the College and hundreds more at the other jama at around the city. There are also active student Islamic societies at both the universities. The College expects its students to make the most of their time in Cambridge and is committed to supporting them to do so. In particular, the College runs a Student Personal Development Programme intended to help each individual student develop not only intellectually but personally during the period of their studies. Students are assigned a Personal Tutor to facilitate this, and they will also benefit from the work of the College Chaplain & Mentor and the overall spiritual life of the College. As part of its responsibility to the service of the wider community, the College also expects students to play an active part in its broad range of public engagement activities. This can range from attendance at public lectures in the College and elsewhere, to taking part in inter-faith activities, to volunteering with local community organisations. Some of these activities including work with the Chaplaincy Team at Addenbrooke s Hosptial are integral to the teaching of particular modules; in other cases such as assisting local Islamic education programmes the College facilitates and coordinates its students service to others. 13
