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.
