The Markfield Institute of Higher Education (MIHE)

The Markfield Institute of Higher Education (MIHE) was established in September 2000 with the objective of being a center of creative excellence in academia guided by Islamic ethos. MIHE is unique, as it combines the richness and high standards of traditional Islamic scholarship with the best of western research techniques, academic rigor and critical inquiry. The Institute is committed to promoting excellence in teaching, research and training. It offers students a friendly and conducive environment for learning and research.

MIHE presents an attractive proposition to students not only in the UK and Europe but throughout the world, as the courses offered here give a clear direction in terms of future career development and progression. Our alumni are a testament to this, as they have gone on to pursue successful careers in various fields after completing their degrees through MIHE. I would like to extend my personal invitation to you to be part of the MIHE experience and be inspired to excellence!”
