To create awareness about the problems facing the world today and to contend for their solution according to Islam.
DISP is offered in English and all classes are held in Singapore. All lecturers are from the IIUM. A diploma will be awarded by IIUM to all participants who have successfully completed the course.

University Details

International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) is a renowned university in the Islamic society worldwide. Its establishment in 1983 was the fulfillment of one of the major aspirations of the contemporary global Muslim community to regain the Ummah's leadership in the quest for knowledge.

This yearning of the Ummah is a key element in IIUM's vision statement:

“To be an international centre of educational excellence which integrates Islamic revealed knowledge and values in all disciplines and which aspires to the restoration of the Ummah's leading role in all branches of knowledge.”

IIUM operates under the direction of a Board of Governors with representatives from the eight sponsoring governments and the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). It maintains links with governments and institutions all over the world, such as the League of Islamic Universities, the International Association of Universities and the Association of Commonwealth Universities. It is also affiliated with several Malaysian-based businesses that provide opportunities for students to gain practical work experience.
