About Al-Maktoum College of Higher Education

Based in Dundee, a dynamic and growing Scottish city, we are proud to have students and staff from all around the globe. Graduates from over 30 countries have successfully completed our postgraduate degree programmes, and a great majority of them are PhDs.

We are always pleased to receive applications for our courses and programmes and will be happy to advise you whatever your requirements, so please do get in touch. Our friendly staff will be happy to help.

We are increasingly becoming a centre of excellence in the UK for teaching and research about Islam and Muslims. At the heart of our approach is improving understanding of and working with other religions and ethno-religious communities. We embrace ‘multiculturalism’ and ‘religious pluralism’ in the sense that we value equally all human beings regardless of their religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender, class, disability and cultural background.

This approach and consideration lies at the centre of all of our activities. So we reach out in a variety of ways to improve understanding of Islam and invite others from all walks of life to share their points of view. We welcome consultations and enquiries about our sphere of learning and expertise and are pleased to share our knowledge of the contemporary issues and 21st century challenges facing society

Campus information

Our campus provides everything you need to make your time as a student as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. From our large lecture hall to seminar and breakout rooms, we are continually investing in our facilities.

Students and visitors alike can use our library which houses over 21,000 volumes split across two collections – one in Arabic, one in English.

Our designated IT suite and Study Room are just two of many study areas located throughout the building and, when relaxation is required, our student common room and garden are designed to let you sit back and unwind.

Dundee has been described as the largest village in Scotland, because it’s friendly, compact and easy to navigate.

It’s the fourth largest city in Scotland, home to around 147,000 people. To put that in context, Scotland has a total population of around five million.

Dundee is on the east coast, between Aberdeen and Edinburgh. It sits right on the Tay estuary and its beautiful south-facing position makes it Scotland’s sunniest city. It’s perfectly placed for exploring, too, with the other three major cities all within two hours’ journey, not to mention beaches, mountains and picturesque villages on the doorstep.

As well as taking in the spectacular scenery, you can ski, climb mountains, fish and ski without travelling very far.

As well as Al-Maktoum, there are two universities and another college in the city, so there are lots of students here from all over the world, more than 45,000 during term-time
