IIUM Directory of Kulliyyahs

Kulliyyah of Nursing

The Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) is a programme conducted by this Kulliyyah. This is a new degree programme both for the university as well as for the country. However, the nursing degree programme has long been established in many parts of the world.

The uniqueness of the Kulliyyah of Nursing, IIUM programme is the integration of Islamic input in its curriculum.  In addition to the Islamic input, this programme will emphasize the Malaysian local need in the local context of our society.

Traditionally, nursing programmes in Malaysia have been conducted by the Ministry of Health at the Diploma level.   Only recently have the public universities in Malaysia begun to offer nursing programmes at the degree level. Currently, University Malaya (UM), University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), University Sains Malaysia (USM), University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), University Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and University Putra Malaysia (UPM) are offering the degree programmes of nursing.

We are one of the latest public universities approved by the government to conduct the Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) programme. We are also the only university where nursing is given full ‘faculty’ status

Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences

The field of medicine has given rise to the concept of health which encompasses all aspects of social sciences, behavioural sciences and environmental sciences with emphasis on the disease and the patient. This form of health concept concentrates not only on those suffering from diseases or ailments but also on those who are healthy.

Based on this advancement, IIUM has developed a new strategy in the teaching of the Health Sciences namely in programmes of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, Biomedical Sciences, Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy,  Nutrition Sciences, Optometry and Visual Sciences, and Physical Rehabilitation Sciences.

The aim of establishing a new faculty by the name of the Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences in the year 2003 was with the aim of raising the standards of health sciences and also as a contribution to the national manpower or human resource in these fields. IIUM has a campus in Kuantan that houses medical and science-based faculties situated in Bandar Indera Mahkota, Kuantan, Pahang Darul Makmur. Currently, the Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences is sited in the Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences Building of the Kuantan Campus.

In order to equip the students with both academic and soft skills, of course, there are also student societies and Allied Health Science Student Society (HEALS) is the society under this kulliyyah. The students have been organizing lots of programmes every year for themselves and, internal and external communities to enhance their skills as well as fill up their leisure time.
