Scholarships 2010/11
June 17th, 2010
We have been extremely fortunate to receive generous funding that will enable 20 UK and EU students to study Islamic Law.
This means that for October 2010 we can offer 20 residential places on our Higher Licence in Islamic Law programme (taught in Arabic) at our beautiful campus in West Wales.
Each scholarship will cover all academic fees and self-catering accommodation for the successful applicants.
If students wish to be catered for, then meals can be provided during term time at a basic cost. (Also note that other than for lighting, all our students have metered electricity in their rooms and tokens may be purchased for the use of personal electrical appliances if required).
We look forward to hearing from suitably qualified candidates. Application forms can be printed off from this site.
Windows Appeal
June 16th, 2010
EIHS is currently trying hard to raise funds to replace windows at the Kulliyah. Decades of wear, tear and Welsh weather (wind and rain!) have left us with rotting frames, broken sash cords and cracked glass. Our poor students freeze in the winter as the old building is in desperate need of appropriate double-glazed windows that actually open and close when required !!
Highmead Mansion was built in the 18th Century, at a time it would seem when people were hardened to the cold! Our beautiful building is in real need of refurbishment and we would like to prioritise the installation of weather-tight windows.

As Muslims we are all obligated to consider our impact on the environment. At EIHS we are very aware that much of the heat we generate is being lost due to broken and ill-fitting windows. With properly designed modern fittings that are in keeping with the style of Highmead, we would not only save money, but also contribute less to the wasting of the earth,s resources.
On behalf of the students at EIHS, please give what you can to our WINDOWS APPEAL any amount, great or small, will be appreciated enormously. Inshallah we will reach our target this year.
We need to raise a total of £60,000 to make it possible. Please make cheques payable to: The European Institute of Human Sciences and forward to: P. Sinclair (Windows Appeal), EIHS, Highmead Foundation, Llanybydder, Ceredigion. SA40 9UL .
Thank you very much to all our supporters.
