The Sacred Texts Syllabus

—

The Sacred Texts Syllabus is a competence orientated, integrated syllabus that exists as a bridge between the traditional scholarship programmes and more modern approaches to academic study. The Syllabus was launched in 2012.The aim of the syllabus is to expose students to the breadth and depth of traditional syllabi, laying down the foundations for specialisation. In short, the Sacred Texts Syllabus is the accessible, pertinent and palatable incarnation of the traditional syllabi, specifically tailored for the modern audience. Sacred Texts gives students a chance to learn their religion at the hands of traditionally trained (mujaz) teachers, and promises them an opportunity to become a positive force for good.We currently offer three flagship programmes, all details can be found on our programmes page.
