Diverse Thinking for Today’s World
We are pleased to announce that as of 1 June 2011, we have become the Al-Maktoum College of Higher Education. We believe that this new title will communicate even more clearly to the public that we are, first and foremost, an independent and international research-led college of higher education in Dundee, Scotland, working in the university sector to provide an excellent centre for teaching and research of the highest standard. For more information, click here.
We offer postgraduate programmes (taught Masters and PhD), which are validated by the University of Aberdeen through the Shaikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Graduate School at the Al-Maktoum College.
Our aim is the promotion of intelligent debate and understanding of Islam and the role of Muslims in the contemporary world. We are a place of knowledge and reflection on the issues facing a diverse and multicultural world in the twenty-first century.
We are an independent, not-for-profit educational charity and so we are one of the small number of private colleges of higher education in the UK. Our Patron and Sponsor is HH Shaikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Minister of Finance of the United Arab Emirates, whose vision for multiculturalism is at the heart of Al-Maktoum College.
We would like to bring to your attention a series of seminars that have been arranged at Al-Maktoum College of Higher Education. Anyone is welcome to attend each of these seminars. For more information, please click here.
The College is also currently planning its first Postgraduate Conference on the Study of Islam and Muslims. For more information on this event please click here.
For information on any planned events at the College, please refer to our Events page.
The Al-Maktoum College is a charity registered in Scotland, No. SC031415.
