De eenjarige masterspecialisatie Islamic Studies biedt een introductie tot verschillende theoretische en methodologische benaderingen van de studie van historische en hedendaagse vormen van islam. Het centrale thema van de opleiding is ‘islam en samenleving’, met nadruk op de vergelijkende studie van moslimgemeenschappen. Met deze master wordt beantwoord aan de groeiende vraag naar internationaal georiënteerde opleidingen die grondig onderwijs bieden in de methodologie van de islamologie.
