Jakarta, FU Online News – The Faculty of Ushuluddin at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta has reopened admissions for new students to two of its flagship study programs: the Study of Religions Program and the Sufism Studies Program.

These programs are designed to respond to contemporary challenges marked by increasing religious complexity and the search for spirituality. Through a rigorous academic approach, students are equipped with scholarly knowledge, humanistic values, and sensitivity to the social and cultural contexts of modern society.

Study of Religions: Promoting Tolerance and Interfaith Dialogue

The Study of Religions (SAA) program offers a learning environment that emphasizes an objective and scholarly understanding of interfaith dynamics. Students explore various theological, sociological, and anthropological aspects of major world religions, including Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and local religious traditions.

With a curriculum that integrates Islamic studies with the social sciences and humanities, the program prepares graduates to work as researchers, educators, interfaith dialogue facilitators, religious policy consultants, and social activists committed to peace and diversity.

Sufism Studies: Exploring Islamic Spirituality in a Contemporary Context

The Sufism Studies Program offers an in-depth study of the spiritual and esoteric dimensions of Islam. Students explore the thoughts and teachings of classical Sufi scholars such as Al-Ghazali, Ibn Arabi, Rumi, and leading Indonesian scholars (ulama Nusantara), with the aim of developing a comprehensive understanding of ethics, morality, and spiritual balance.

This program is particularly relevant in the face of today’s fast-paced, materialistic world. Students are not only taught theoretical concepts, but also spiritual practices that can be applied in daily life to cultivate inner peace, self-awareness, and social compassion.

Diverse Career Prospects and Meaningful Contributions

Graduates of both study programs have diverse career opportunities in education, research, religious consultancy, community development, and interfaith or intercultural engagement. A strong emphasis on contextual research and community service equips them to contribute meaningfully at both local and global levels.

Faculty of Ushuluddin: An Intellectual and Spiritual Home for Lifelong Learners

The Faculty of Ushuluddin at UIN Jakarta is recognized as one of Indonesia’s leading centers for critical and reflective Islamic studies. Its supportive and open academic environment fosters the growth of students into intellectual individuals who are sharp-minded, spiritually grounded, and committed to humanitarian values.

Admissions Now Open

The Study of Religions and Sufism Studies programs are now accepting new student admissions for the current academic year.

For prospective students interested in exploring religious scholarship through a multidisciplinary lens, deepening spiritual insight, and contributing to peace and diversity, this is your opportunity to join.
