"Garden of Knowledge and Virtue"
IIUM is today one of the most talked-about institutions in the Islamic world.
This should not surprise anyone who has kept in touch with the university’s
development. Right from its inception, IIUM has spared no effort to ensure that
it provides the best tertiary education possible in all branches of knowledge.
It scours the entire world in its recruitment exercises, for it would employ the
most accomplished scholars for its academic departments and appoint committed
professionals to run its administration. Its state-of-the-art
facilities—physical and otherwise—are the envy of other institutions. And its
graduates are among the most sought-after by employers looking for knowledgeable
and skilful professionals who, in addition, are committed to moral and ethical
values.
Malaysian graduates of IIUM have performed admirably in both the
public and private sectors. This is no doubt due to their high academic
achievements, language skills, and international exposure. Since 1987 IIUM has
been producing about 3,000 graduates annually.
