Inter-university diploma (DIU) - Islamology

The DIU "Islamologie: principes, enjeux et applications dans la France contemporaine" is operated by Aix-Marseille Université (AMU), the University of Strasbourg (UNISTRA) and the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (Inalco), in agreement with the Institut Français d'Islamologie (IFI). It brings together the latest advances in research in the fields of Islamic history, Islamology in the broadest sense (philology, epigraphy, codicology, literary and critical study of texts, etc.), and the social sciences of religion.

Multi-century religion practiced on every continent, Islam comprises a plurality of legal schools and is imbued with a rich and complex philosophy. Its thought has produced jewels of humanity's intellectual heritage. This wealth has been passed down to the present day, and continues to make its contribution to the world's intellectual and scholarly output.

Faced with a shortage of short courses accessible to all, students and professionals alike, the Institut Français d'Islamologie has decided to promote the creation of two short university courses, which aim to provide the foundations for a general knowledge of Islam, attentive to its fundamental texts, as well as its denominational and legal diversity or the wealth of its intellectual heritage. The contemporary dimensions of this religion's place in modern society complete this training, so much so that Islam is a living, dynamic religion embedded in modernity.

This training brings students into contact with the latest advances in research in the field of Islamic history, Islamology in the broadest sense (philology, epigraphy, codicology, literary and critical study of texts etc.), as well as the social sciences of the religious.

Nota bene: This course can give validation of European university credits and can offer gateways to a Bachelor's degree course.
