The Faculty of Sharia and Islamic Studies at Applied Science Private University became an independent faculty following the decision to transform the Department of Sharia and Islamic Studies, which had been affiliated with the Faculty of Arts and Humanities since 1991, into a separate faculty as of the academic year 2019/2020.  

 The Faculty of Sharia and Islamic Studies comprises two departments: the Department of Foundations of Fiqh and the Department of Quranic Recitations and Interpretation.   

The Faculty is committed to ensuring that students acquire comprehensive knowledge across the major disciplines of Sharia, qualifying them to contribute effectively in both academic and professional fields.  

 The Faculty prepares its graduates for a wide range of career opportunities in Jordan and abroad, including teaching Islamic studies in schools and working in Awqaf, the General Iftaa Department, Sharia courts, Quranic and Islamic centers, and Islamic institutes locally and internationally.  

 The Faculty takes pride in the outstanding results achieved by its students in the University Proficiency Exam over the past years, with many securing top ranks among participants from various public and private universities.  

​Like students in other faculties, students of the Faculty of Sharia and Islamic Studies undergo structured field training in various areas, including teaching, leading prayers, delivering Khutbah, Sharia courts, Islamic banking, and other relevant fields.  

 The Faculty also includes a specialized laboratory dedicated to developing recitation skills, in addition to a Hadith verification course.  

 This facility was established in the academic year 2007/2008 to support group-based practical learning and recitation sessions for both male and female students.
