Master of Arts in Muslim Cultures
Virtual Fairs are an opportunity for you to know more about the programme and speak with the Director, faculty, students and a member of the admission team.
Applications are now open to those planning to commence their studies with us in September 2018.
Based in central London, the Aga Khan University Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations (ISMC) two-year MA Programme offers:
A distinctive way of understanding Muslim civilisations as they have evolved over time.
Stresses the plurality and complexity of past and present Muslim cultures, studying them as part of world cultures.
Employs the tools of the social sciences and humanities as a framework for learning.
Within the disciplines of social sciences and humanities our students study a number of subjects including, development studies, economics, political science, art, architecture, history, literature, comparative religion and law.
The MA programme consists of a number of core and elective courses, which includes a field-based Language Immersion Programme (Arabic or Persian), a Communications and Leadership Programme as well as optional fieldwork that can contribute to a dissertation.
Financial assistance is available in the form of loans and partial grants.
