The SOAS Master of Arts in Islamic Law provides an exceptional specialization in this dynamic legal field, which holds growing importance both in Muslim-majority nations and for Muslim communities worldwide.
This advanced degree thoroughly examines critical topics including family matters, financial systems, charitable giving, international affairs, and the impacts of globalization. It serves as a foundation for analyzing and interpreting various Muslim societies through multiple, nuanced viewpoints.
The program's curriculum delves into how Islamic legal principles are interpreted and implemented across South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and in transnational contexts.
Coursework examines jurisprudential theories and methodologies, along with specialized areas like family law, criminal justice, and financial regulations. The program also addresses crucial intersections with international human rights standards. Regional-focused modules emphasize law's societal role, investigating its position and influence within communities - covering themes ranging from gender dynamics and colonial legacies to constitutional frameworks and legal pluralism.
