The development of UIN, a world-class center for Islamic studies

Abstract

State Islamic University (UIN) is set to become a world-class center for Islamic studies in accordance with the policy of the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia to make Indonesia a “center of world Islamic education”. Indonesian Islam is hoped to be a trade-mark for the Indonesian people, and an attraction for other nations to learn about Islam. But the reality shows the quality of Islamic Religious Higher Education (PTKI) is very alarming, compared to that of the secular universities in Indonesia. Based on webometrics 2019, only 8 Islamic universities are in the top 100 of the best tertiary institutions in Indonesia, and their ranking is of the lower level. This paper aims to analyze the development strategy of UIN as a center for world-class Islamic studies. The analytical method used in this study is a descriptive-analytical method, combined with a concept study approach and interpretive analysis in the form of a critical thinking pattern for later synthesis to produce a conclusion. Based on the results of the analysis and conceptual study and the potential of UIN, there are several strategic steps that can be used as a consideration for developing UIN to become a center of world-class Islamic studies. They are: diplomacy in international academic lines, sending lecturers abroad (east middle), international-based academic policy, improvement of foreign language competence, communication services and international standard administration.
