The main requirements for entry are the completion of an ‘ālim course at a recognised institution of Islamic scholarship, fluency in written and spoken English and UK citizenship or permanent resident status.
The college recognises that many students who would benefit from the Diploma course may not have mainstream academic qualifications.
Applicants will therefore have the opportunity to provide a variety of evidence in support of their applications for a place and for financial support. Those selected will be asked to sit a written test when they come for interview.
Applicants will be expected to be intellectually curious, hard-working, and committed to the aims of the college. Like those of the University of Cambridge itself, the standards of the college will be high and the work challenging. But what students put in they will get back by being part of a rigorous, innovative and dynamic new programme.
The college welcomes applications from men and women who want to apply their knowledge effectively in the service of Muslims and others.
