Since its establishment in 1983, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) has been an undisputed leader in the Islamic world for its ability to attract international students from all around the globe. More than 96,000 students have graduated from IIUM among which more than 14,000 are international students in more than 90 countries.
To keep the relation ties strong between its current students, staff and lecturers, and its alumni, IIUM has established the Alumni Division. The division takes the responsibility of liaising with graduates informing them about the development inside the university, assisting their personal and career development and celebrating their accomplishments.
IIUM Alumni has more than 14,000 international alumni
IIUM has now established a strong international alumni network with its alumni spanning the five continents from Peru to Japan. Alumni has more than 14,000 international alumni who went back to their countries to establish successful productive careers with some of them reaching the level of ministers and CEOs.
The success stories of our alumni include Director General/ Chief Judge of Department of Syariah Judiciary Malaysia YAA Dato’ Dr. Hj. Mohd Naim Hj. Mokhtar, CEO of Bank Islam Mr. Muazzam Mohamad, CEO of MIMOS Mdm. Emelia Matrahah, Minister of Islamic affairs in Maldives Mr. Ahmed Zahir, Governor of Reserve Bank of Fiji Mr. Faizul Ariff Ali, CEO of Bosna Bank International Mr. Amer Bukvic, Head Of Strategic Development & Data Management at Westminster International University in Tashkent Surayyo Shaamirova, and many more.
The Alumni Relations Division has established more than 30 chapters all around the world including countries like Australia, Albania, Indonesia, Kenya, Oman, China and many more.
The Alumni Relations Division has also established a few programs for past students to give back and help bright students who have financial difficulties pursue their studies through donation to the fund Alsafa. This program provides aid for international as well as local outstanding students and receives contributions from IIUM alumni and the general public. It represents a great opportunity for generous individuals who want to purify their wealth and make their charity more meaningful.
The Alumni Relations Division organizes many workshops and gatherings to strengthen student’s academic, spiritual and networking aspects. It has organized more than 20 events in the current academic year ranging from open launches to seminars to Tazkirah.
