Master Program
The establishment of postgraduate program at University of Darussalam Gontor is part of ideal visions of the founding fathers of Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor. The vision of the founders was vividly expressed in the Declaration of Waqf (1958) that this education institution should be developed into qualified and meaningful university. This vision had been realised in 1963 by setting up Institute of Education Darussalam, later it is called Darussalam Institute of Islamic Studies. However, until the death of the three founders (the last one was in 1985) their vision to establish a university in the real sense of the words had not been realised yet. It was by the second generation that the step towards the establishment of university started. First by establishing postgraduate program in 2010 and then by converting the institute into university in 2014. Our vision to be a Centre of Excellence for the study of Islam in relation to the program of Islamisation of contemporary knowledge.
