With over 12 unique programmes delivered throughout the academic year, Open House is the gateway to discovering CEI’s unique and holistic approach to Qur’anic engagement and Islamic Sciences.
This vibrant event offers a behind-the-scenes look at our full range of transformative programmes—designed to inspire and motivate current and prospective students on their spiritual learning journeys.
Established in the late 1990s, CEI has maintained a longstanding commitment to excellence in developing distinctive programmes focused on the Qur’an and Islamic Sciences.
Since 2010, it has established a strong presence in Central London, expanding its reach to other key UK cities, including Oxford, Manchester and Birmingham, through the delivery of a wide range of impactful initiatives.
Open House offers a unique opportunity to explore CEI’s journey to date and gain insight into the exciting developments shaping its future.
At the heart of Open House is a spotlight on the London Academy — CEI’s flagship two-year programme bringing together six distinguished teachers, each offering a unique teaching approach across six core disciplines of the Islamic tradition.
Open House offers attendees an in-depth look at the Academy’s richly interdisciplinary approach, with the chance to learn more about each discipline and hear insights from the reputed teachers on the programme.
A powerful and candid session where attendees hear directly from CEI students.
This roundtable offers first hand reflections on the CEI experience and the profound, transformative impact CEI has had on students’ spiritual, personal and professional development.
A particular highlight of the evening will be an in-depth conversation between Dr S. Ashraf and invited scholars.
Come along to hear their insights about studying the traditional sciences and the unique experience of studying with CEI.
The evening offers a wonderful opportunity to connect with members of the CEI community, engage in meaningful conversation, and network with students, alumni, and teachers —all over delicious free food and refreshments.
