What our students say

“Saya telah lama menyimpan hasrat untuk mendalami ilmu agama secara lebih tersusun, namun niat itu sering tertangguh kerana komitmen kerja dan kesibukan harian.

Apabila saya menyertai Sijil Pengajian Islam (SPI), saya mendapati suasana pembelajarannya amat kondusif, khususnya bagi orang dewasa yang ingin kembali menuntut ilmu. Barisan asatizah mengajar dengan penuh dedikasi, kesabaran dan hikmah, menjadikan setiap sesi mudah difahami serta dekat dengan realiti kehidupan.

Apa yang paling saya hargai ialah setiap modul bukan sahaja padat dengan ilmu, malah sangat praktikal dan relevan untuk diamalkan dalam kehidupan seharian. Pengalaman mengikuti SPI benar-benar menguatkan keyakinan saya bahawa tidak pernah ada istilah terlambat untuk menuntut ilmu agama.

Selagi Allah SWT mengurniakan kita usia dan kesempatan, sentiasalah berusaha memperbaiki diri dengan ilmu yang bermanfaat sebagai bekalan untuk dunia dan akhirat.”

Future Pathways

Bachelor's in Islamic Studies

Progress directly into the Bachelor’s Degree in Usuluddin with UNIMEL, or pursue undergraduate Islamic studies with accredited partner universities locally and abroad.

Mosque & Madrasah Roles

Take on practical responsibilities across Singapore mosques, madrasahs, and community organisations in learning management, programme administration, and religious guidance.

 

Islamic Education

Teach Quran recitation, foundational Tajweed, and Islamic studies with confidence, supporting community learning centres and structured classroom settings.

Da'wah & Community Service

Lead grassroots outreach, guide youth initiatives, and contribute meaningfully to community development with sound knowledge and recognised qualifications.

F.A.Qs

Not necessarily. Applicants under Route A (GCE O-Level) do not need a prior background in Islamic studies to enrol. The curriculum is designed to build from foundational principles upward. If you have studied Islam previously, your knowledge will be a benefit, but it is not a prerequisite for Route A applicants.

Full-time students complete the six-semester programme in three years, while part-time students spread their studies over five years. Both tracks follow the same curriculum and receive the same accredited qualification. The part-time option is designed for working adults, those completing National Service, or learners managing family responsibilities.

The Diploma in Syariah Islamiyyah is awarded in partnership with Universiti Islam Melaka (UNIMEL), a recognised Islamic university. Graduates can use the qualification to apply for further study at the bachelor’s degree level locally and regionally. For specific employment or professional recognition queries, we recommend confirming directly with the relevant institution or employer.

Graduates are prepared for roles in Islamic education, Shariah administration, da’wah, mosque and madrasah work, and community youth development. Many graduates also continue to bachelor’s programmes in Islamic studies before entering professional roles. The diploma builds both knowledge and practical competency across a wide range of Islamic service careers.

Classes are conducted in both English and Malay, depending on the module and the lecturer. Core Islamic subjects are taught in a way that is accessible to learners whose primary language is English. A working knowledge of Malay is helpful but not required to follow the programme effectively.

The next intake opens in December. To begin the application process, submit your enquiry using the form below or reach out to our team via WhatsApp. Our team will follow up with detailed guidance on the admissions steps, required documents, and payment arrangements.
