About Bachelor of Muslim Studies

More than one-fifth of the world's population currently self-identifies as Muslim. A 2015 Pew Research Center report projects this will rise to nearly 30% by 2050. For many individuals and groups, "Muslim" is more than a marker of religion, it represents a set of contested communities; ethnicities; histories; regions and neighborhoods; politics; and artistic, literary, and musical traditions that may or may not have a recognizable connection to Islam. Despite this diversity, many hold notions of Muslim identity that act as a shared horizon of belonging or association.
