Faculty of Shari'ah and Law
The Institute of Sharia and Law was established by the Government on 11 August 1999. The purpose of the establishment of this faculty was to produce sufficiently competent persons in the judicial and legal field in order to further strengthen the judicial and legal sector of the Maldives. In April 2010, the Maldives College of Higher Education was appointed by a Presidential Decree, and the Faculty of Islamic Studies was established. On 1 January 2018, the Faculty of Sharia and Law and the Faculty of Islamic Studies were merged. The faculty was renamed the Faculty of Law and Islamic Studies. On 7 October 2020, the University Council once again renamed the faculty as Faculty of Sharia and Law. The faculty offers undergraduate courses as well as masters courses and has courses running on the campuses across the nation.

Completing my degree at the Maldives National University laid a strong groundwork for my future endeavors.”
“I chose MNU because the services provided at MNU are well worth the fees. At MNU, I have gained a lot of valuable experiences and lessons, not only in class but through activities such as sports, entertainment and those geared towards life skill development and preparing you for life. I have been studying various courses at MNU for a total of six years now, and in that time I find that everyone from the teachers to the office workers, work very well to give us the quality education expected of MNU.”
