The Academy of Islamic Studies, is one of the 17 faculties at the University of Malaya. It has been 30 years since the establishment of the Academy. Within this period, the Academy has undergone a number of changes and transformations. In early days of its establishment, the Academy of Islamic Studies only offered first degree programmes (Bachelor programmes). Currently, there are three major programmes offered and conferred by the Academy, namely Bachelor’s degrees in Usuluddin, Syariah and Islamic Education. The Academy has succeeded in producing a large number of graduates, who have gone on to serve for the benefit of Islam, the Ummah and the nation. At the moment, the Academy continues to grow and has been able to offer new degree programmes, which are contemporary and in line with the current needs of the Ummah and the nation. The Academy has even taken a step forward by providing opportunities to prospective students planning to further their studies either at the Master or PhD levels at the Academy of Islamic Studies. In the past, the students of the Academy were Malaysian citizens, but today the students of the Academy come from all parts of the world bringing along with them different backgrounds and cultures. The international students at the Academy consist of both postgraduate and undergraduate students.
