About Education & Islamic Studies

Education & Islamic Studies is a combined degree programme that equips students with foundational knowledge in educational theory, pedagogy, and the core principles of Islamic scholarship. Students explore Quranic studies, Hadith, Islamic jurisprudence, Arabic language, and the history of Islam alongside curriculum development, educational psychology, and classroom methodology. The programme prepares graduates to serve as qualified Islamic Studies teachers in primary and secondary schools across Nigeria, academic researchers, curriculum developers with the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council, and Islamic scholars contributing to community development and religious administration. Graduates may register with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, which regulates professional teaching practice nationwide. The programme is particularly relevant in northern Nigeria, where demand for qualified Islamic education professionals remains consistently strong.
