Faculty of Shariah and Law

Introduction

The predecessor to the Faculty of Shariah and Law, Faculty of Shariah and Islamic Studies was established in 2009 with a vision to excel and lead in teaching Shariah and Islamic Studies. Though we started out with a modest number of students, by 2016, our students in different programmes numbered in excess of 300 students and the faculty was renamed Faculty of Shariah and Law to reflect the new vision of the faculty, of educating students in Shariah and Law disciplines.

Since our establishment, we have offered a flexible curriculum, geared towards student needs, and in keeping with our vision of providing a caring and conducive environment for students to excel in their chosen academic programmes.

Programmes

The faculty offers bespoke programs in Shariah and Law covering a multitude of disciplines. In addition to our local programmes, the faculty in collaboration with the University of the West of England offers an undergraduate law degree programme. Our faculty is committed to provide students with different learning opportunities towards which end, in addition to the classroom experience, students are required to engage in interaction with the legal community and the judiciary through courtroom placements and we provide an opportunity to bring a change through our experiential learning platform called Villa College Law Society.
