Academic Programs

1. Bachelor's Program: Shafi'i Jurisprudence and Law
The Bachelor of Arts in Shafi'i Jurisprudence and Law is a four-year program delivered over eight academic semesters. The curriculum is credit-based, and students are required to successfully complete 139 credit units in accordance with the 2025 approved syllabus. The credit distribution is as follows:

  • General Education Courses: 22 credits

  • Foundational Courses: 24 credits

  • Mandatory Specialised Courses: 80 credits

  • Elective Specialised Courses: 10 credits

  • Skill-based and Internship Courses: 3 credits

2. Master's Program: Shafi'i Jurisprudence
The Master of Arts in Shafi'i Jurisprudence is a postgraduate program that serves as a bridge between undergraduate studies and doctoral research. This non-continuous program, typically completed in four semesters, is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the principles of jurisprudence (Usul), legal maxims (Qawa'id), and verdicts (Fatwas) of the Shafi'i school, in comparison with other schools of thought. The program culminates in the composition and defense of a master's thesis. Admission is granted through three channels: the national centralized university entrance exam, an Exceptional Talents track, and international student admissions.

  • Total Core Credits: 28 credits (comprising 12 mandatory specialised credits, 12 elective specialised credits, and a 4-credit thesis).

  • Compensatory Courses: Students from unrelated undergraduate backgrounds are required to complete up to 8 credits of compensatory courses, as determined by the academic department.

3. PhD Program: Shafi'i Jurisprudence
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Shafi'i Jurisprudence is the highest academic degree offered in this field. This non-continuous program consists of two distinct phases—coursework and research—and concludes with the defense of a doctoral dissertation. Admission is conducted through a competitive entrance examination, an Exceptional Talents track, and international student admissions. Candidates with a master's degree in a field other than Shafi'i jurisprudence or a related discipline will be required to pass compensatory courses upon admission, as specified by the department.

  • Total Core Credits: 36 credits (comprising 12 mandatory specialised credits, 6 elective specialised credits, and an 18-credit dissertation).

  • Compensatory Courses: Students from non-related master's programs must complete up to 6 credits of compensatory courses.
