BS Islamic Studies (Specialization in Computer Technology) is a four-year undergraduate degree pairing traditional Islamic scholarship with computing skills — an unusual combination designed to produce graduates who can work in religious education and scholarship while being technically capable.
What You’ll Study
The Islamic studies component covers Quranic studies and exegesis, Hadith sciences, Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), Islamic history and civilisation, Arabic language, and comparative religion. The computing component covers programming, databases, web development and information systems.
Why the Combination
The practical rationale is that religious education, publishing and scholarship have digitised substantially — Quranic and Hadith databases, Islamic educational applications, digital archives of classical texts, and online religious education platforms all require people who understand both the subject matter and the technology. Someone who can build a searchable Hadith database and understands isnad chains is more useful for that work than either a developer or a scholar alone.
Career Scope in Pakistan
Graduates work in religious education and teaching, Islamic content development for digital platforms, Islamic banking and finance where Shariah knowledge is required, religious publishing and digital archiving, madrasa and school curriculum roles, and general IT roles where the computing component applies.
Islamic finance deserves particular mention — Pakistan’s Islamic banking sector has grown substantially and needs people who genuinely understand Shariah compliance rather than treating it as a formality.
Admission Requirements
