However, it can be troublesome transferring those accreditations into Western academia.\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4>The access course offered by Warwick is targeted at educators and potential academics. Students from seminaries will have the chance to learn Western pedagogy and academic skills, and upon successful completion may choose to continue on to the Islamic Education pathway MA (Master\u2019s degree) in Religions, Society, and Education.\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4>The course is not just on offer for graduates of seminaries: those interested in progressing onto the MA degree but who lack the necessary Bachelor\u2019s degree may also choose to take the course. According to the university website, there will be a focus on studying the rich history of education in Islam as well as engaging with modern theory.\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4>Dr Abdullah Sahin, Reader in Islamic Education in the Centre for Education Studies, and one of the main people involved in the development of the course, said: \u201cThis pioneering short course \u2013 the first of its kind to be offered in any UK University \u2013 was developed after a decade of research into exploring the needs of a large group of community-based education practitioners who feel they have been left out of the education system altogether.\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4>\u201cThe course is designed to bridge the gap between the educational cultures of traditional Islamic seminaries and modern higher education. We hope it will help to widen participation in higher education and make a significant contribution towards mainstreaming traditional Islamic higher education.<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting next academic year, the University of Warwick will offer a one term course, the \u201cPostgraduate Award in Islamic Education\u201d, which is designed to bridge the gap between Islamic seminaries and modern tertiary education. \u00a0 Starting next academic year, the University of Warwick will offer a one term course, the \u201cPostgraduate Award in Islamic Education\u201d, &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":17238,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_108372464460192_245495985553329":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[121,207,211,751],"class_list":["post-6034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-britain","tag-islamic","tag-university","tag-western"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
