The Master of Comparative Laws (By Coursework) at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) addresses contemporary legal challenges by equipping students with comparative knowledge of major legal traditions—Islamic (Shariah), English common law and European civil law. The programme recognises the growing global influence of multiple legal systems and prepares legal professionals to engage competently across jurisdictions. Emphasising comparative analysis and cross‑system understanding, the curriculum combines lectures and seminars to develop doctrinal insight, research skills and practical competence. Graduates gain the analytical tools and expertise needed for careers in legal practice, policy, academia, international organisations and law reform in an increasingly competitive and transnational legal environment.
