The Islamic College is a London-based academic institution specialising in Islamic Studies at both the graduate and the undergraduate levels. Until March 2023 its degree programmes were validated by Middlesex University.[1]
In March 2023 the institution was accused of having links to Iran’s Al-Mustafa International University, which is currently under US counter-terrorism sanctions for allegedly recruiting students to Iran's unconventional warfare and military intelligence branch, the Quds Force.[2]
It also publishes academic texts in Islamic studies as well as a quarterly academic journal.
In 2014 the Hawza Ilmiyya of England, an Islamic seminary, began to run at the same location.[3][4]
