OVERVIEW<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Al-Imaam Muhammad bin Su’ood Islaamic University (IMIU)<\/strong>, or Imam University for short, opened with two colleges, the College of Arabic Studies and the College of Islaamic Law in 1953 in Riyadh. Since then, many colleges have been added, as well as branches in other cities. Similar to Al-Madeenah <\/a>and Umm Al-Quraa<\/a>, non-Arabic speakers have a chance to learn Arabic here from the beginning in an Arabic Language Institute designed specifically for them. They can then continue their studies in\u00a0one of the colleges only if they qualify with at least an 80%<\/strong> level of achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To be considered for admission, applicants must be 25 years old<\/strong> or younger with a high school diploma (at least 80% average<\/strong> or better). Their application must include photographs, copies of passport, birth and health certifictes, high school transcripts and a copy of the diploma, all verified by the Saudi Embassy of their country. A letter of “No Objection” from your government is also essential.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Further\u00a0required are letters of recommendation from known Islamic organizations or personalities.<\/span><\/p>\n

ESTIMATED COSTS AND LIVING EXPENSES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The school provides the students with a monthly stipend of SR 840<\/strong> (about $225), a round-trip plane ticket yearly, discounted meals, and free housing (for single students only) with shared rooming, or discounted housing with unshared rooms (just under\u00a0$1000 for the academic year) . <\/span><\/p>\n

A single student should bring\u00a0at least\u00a0$2,000<\/strong> to get by initially. After that, the monthly stipend may be sufficient for single students living in the dormitory. Married students who have children should expect their living expenses to be upwards of\u00a0$12,000 yearly<\/strong>, depending on their standard of living, number of children, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
