Study Islamic Studies

Islamic studies at UNE promotes intelligent debate and an understanding of the beliefs, practices, cultures and values of Muslim peoples.

We consider the challenges Islam faces in the post 9/11 world with the espousal of an Islamic world order and the threat of terrorism represented by radicalised Muslims.

Undergraduate and postgraduate courses

Study on campus in Armidale or fully online in your own home, or abroad.

International students will be considered on the basis of their qualifications, the strength of their research experience, and the viability of their research proposals.
