The Global Certificate in Islamic Studies (Advanced) course at Stanmore School of Business was a valuable learning experience for me. As a student from Ghana, I was interested in exploring the intersections between Islamic studies and African contexts. The course content was thorough and well-structured, covering a range of topics from Islamic law to contemporary issues. I appreciated the attention to detail and the use of case studies to illustrate key concepts. The course materials were generally good, although I sometimes found the readings to be a bit dry. I enjoyed the discussions with my classmates, who brought diverse perspectives to the table. One aspect that stood out to me was the module on Islamic education, which highlighted the importance of critical thinking and intellectual curiosity in Islamic traditions. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others who want to gain a deeper understanding of Islamic studies. However, I think the course could benefit from more diverse perspectives and examples from non-Western contexts.
