Diploma in Shariah & Law

The Diploma in Shariah & Law introduces Islamic and international legal frameworks, touching on criminal law, legislation and evidence, to prepare students for further legal study or entry-level roles that call for a working knowledge of both systems. Delivered over 12 months for 120 credits, 90 of them at Level 5, the course runs face-to-face, blended or online and sits at MNQF Level 5. Modules span English for legal practice, Arabic language, the Maldivian legal system, constitutional law, Usool al-Fiqh, contract law and the law of torts, among others. The total fee is MVR 30,550, billed at MVR 2,350 a month across the single year. Entry follows the standard route, with a preparation-program alternative open to unrelated Level 4 holders or 20-year-olds with two years of relevant work experience.
