Since 1924, the Faculty of Theology has been one of the five foundational faculties of Istanbul University. Its roots go back to the madrasahs (institutions for secular and religious education in the Islamic world) which were established by the Seljuks in the 11th century. The Faculty of Theology builds upon this long tradition of Islamic theology and education and advances it through its academic work and research done by the almost 200 academic personnel.
The Faculty of Theology seeks to connect with various different languages, cultures and religions all around the world.

The multicultural structure of the Faculty is further strengthened by undergraduate and graduate programs being offered in Arabic and English (besides the Turkish programs).

Furthermore, courses on the history of Islam, the history of Islamic sects and the history of religion enable the Faculty to deepen its understanding of what lies behind the religion and civilization of Islam.
