The spokesperson of the university Habibu Umar-Amin disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday in Katsina, saying the university’s Centre for Qur`anic Studies and Research (CQSR) has concluded arrangements to begin offering the programmes.
He quoted the Director of the centre, Dr Jabir Musa-Suleiman, as saying the programmes included Diploma in Qur`anic Science, Senior Certificate in Qur`anic Studies and Basic Intensive Certificate Course for Qur`anic Proficiency.
The duration of the diploma programme was two years, and requires candidates who memorised the Holy Qur`an and other requirements of the diploma programme, while the requirements are four credits in Ordinary level, comprising Arabic Language and Islamic studies.
According to Umar-Amin, the certificate course would span two semesters comprising three different classes which includes basic level beginners and advanced level.
“The duration for the Basic Knowledge of Qur`anic Studies programme is three years, targeting those who memorised the Holy Qur`an. The certificate would enable candidates to further their studies in and outside the country.”
He said these courses introduced by the university were not being offered by many first generation universities in the country, and therefore, urged interested applicants to take advantage of the centre and enrol, assuring them of best academic experience.
