The Research Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics (CILE), and Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), cordially announce the opening of the online application for the MA in Applied Islamic Ethics (AIE), the first program of its kind worldwide.

Program

This pioneer program addresses how Islam, as a world religion with a rich moral heritage, engages with and contributes to the global moral discourse. Its strong interdisciplinary character combines in-depth knowledge of both theoretical and applied ethics rooted in the Islamic tradition. The program is consistent with the Qatar National Vision 2030 of developing a knowledge-based society and also with HBKU’s mission to develop world-class interdisciplinary academic programs.

Graduates & Future

Graduates of this program will have the skills to continue their academic studies at the PhD level in the many fields covered in this program. They may also work in a professional environment by regulating ethical guidelines and policies in government and private institutions active in a wide range of areas, including biomedical sciences, engineering, business, politics, family, and human rights–in Muslim and Western contexts.

Besides following courses, students of the AIE program will have extra opportunities for improving their skills. For instance, they will be able to join the regular research seminars, International Conference, training sessions, public lectures and many other activities organized by the Research Center for Islamic Legislation & Ethics (CILE).
