International Islamic University Malaysia/Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws

Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah Of Laws (AIKOL) is the law faculty of International Islamic University Malaysia. Previously known as the Kulliyyah of Laws, it was renamed in 2000 in honour of its founding father and ex-Dean, Professor Tan Sri Datuk Ahmad Mohamed Ibrahim. Being the first Kulliyyah (faculty) to be formed together with the university, it is now one of the largest law schools in Malaysia and has produced thousands of law graduates since 1983: legal practitioners, syarie lawyers, academicians, legal advisors, deputy public prosecutors, judiciary members, and politicians. AIKOL's mission and vision is to produce high-quality law graduates who are not only knowledgeable about civil law concepts, but also on Islamic jurisprudence and its methodologies. The current Dean is Professor Dr. Hunud Abia Kadouf.[1]

Due to its international status, the medium for teaching in AIKOL is English and Arabic. However, Bahasa Melayu is also taught to students to equip them with the understanding of legal jargons in the national language. It does receive a small group of foreign law students every year whilst the majority of the students are Malaysians.

Campuses

There is a total of three campuses in Malaysia, which are at Gombak, Kuantan, and Petaling Jaya. The Combak Campus is the main campus, ≈ 700 acre (2.8 km²).
