Programa de Bacharelado (Eng) em Teologia Islâmica

During this four-year HBO Bachelor’s program, students can delve into a wide range of subjects on Islamic Theology. The composition of the courses within the program is based on an inside view while at the same time offering sufficient variation and challenge in knowledge, theory, and professional practice.

The main teaching methods are lectures, tutorials, self-study, internships, and the final thesis.

After successful completion of the program, the graduate may call himself/herself a Theologian. A large number of IUASR graduates choose to continue their education. Others can work as imams, a specialist in Islam for government agencies or non-governmental agencies. There are plenty of job opportunities for our graduates at Ministries, local authorities, Islamic primary schools, mosques, or Islamic organizations.

The minimum requirement for admission is a diploma that is at least equal to the Dutch HAVO diploma. In the case of non-Dutch applicants, International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), General Certificate of Education: Ordinary Level (O’levels), or International Baccalaureate (IB) diplomas would also be applicable.

To enroll in our English Bachelor’s program, you must be proficient in English. Tests accepted are IELTS (6.0 or more), TOEFL (80 or more), and Cambridge English Exam (CPE, CAE – 169 Cambridge component score).

Because the Islamic Theology Bachelor’s program is taught in 4 quarters per academic year, applications are open throughout the year. The new students may start their education at the beginning of any of the four quarters of the year.

The Islamic University of Rotterdam (IUR) was founded due to initiatives taken by Muslims living in the Netherlands. Since then, the IUR is established as a Dutch University and, more importantly, as an intellectual contribution of Muslims to Dutch society.

There has been a general agreement among the founders, responsible citizens, regarding the IUR as a social necessity for Muslims and non-Muslims in Dutch society. Intending to fulfil the social and religious needs of the Muslims, the University contributes with respect to imams and moral guides in the Dutch educational field.
