𝓐𝓵𝓱𝓪𝓶𝓭𝓾𝓵𝓲𝓵𝓵𝓪𝓱! 𝓒𝓸𝓷𝓰𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓾𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼!

We are overjoyed to announce that Ms. Asnaira P. Sarip, MA, Chairperson of the Department of Islamic Studies and faculty member of the Institute of Islamic, Arabic, and International Studies (IIAIS), Mindanao State University – General Santos, has been officially admitted to the PhD Program in Islamic Studies at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII). This opportunity is granted by virtue of Special Order No. 887-26C under the Academic Personnel Development Program (APDP).

Alongside her, two of our outstanding Islamic Studies students—Mr. Muhammad Farhan Akil and Ms. Fauziyah Abdulgapor—have likewise been admitted to pursue the Master in Economics, specializing in Halal Industry and Policy Economics at UIII.

This remarkable achievement is a milestone not only in their individual academic journeys but also in the collective pursuit of excellence within our institution. Ms. Sarip’s unwavering dedication to scholarship, teaching, and service has long been evident, and we are confident that this new chapter will further enrich her contributions to both the academic and faith communities.

The PhD program will span four years beginning in September 2026, while the Master’s program will run for two years. Both programs promise advanced training and global exposure that will strengthen their expertise, leadership, and impact in their respective fields.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Sarip, Mr. Akil, and Ms. Abdulgapor for this outstanding accomplishment. May this opportunity bring growth, wisdom, and inspiration, and may the Almighty continue to guide their steps as they embark on this new journey.
