At International Open University (IOU), we believe education thrives in diversity. Though originally founded as an Islamic university, IOU proudly welcomes students from all backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs.
As part of our curriculum, all students take a few courses in Islamic Studies. These are designed not to convert, but to broaden understanding of different worldviews, foster cultural awareness, and encourage respectful dialogue.
Many non-Muslim students have found these courses both insightful and enriching—enhancing their personal and academic growth.
Join IOU and be part of a global, inclusive learning community.
🌍 Education for all. Understanding for everyone.
