Explore the university and its colleges

View study plans

Can I study from outside the United States?

Yes. The university’s digital environment serves international students in multiple countries. Before applying, check the required documents, time-zone considerations, program language and whether the qualification fits your goals and the regulations that apply in your country of residence.

Review the registration application

What language is used for study at IUM?

The language of study varies by college, program and course. The public website is available in Arabic and English, but applicants should confirm the teaching language in the selected program’s study plan and admission terms before applying.

Check the program study plan

How should I choose an online university?

Compare the field, study plan, admission terms, lecture format and fees, then verify whether the qualification fits its intended use in your country. Do not decide from the degree name alone; use the university’s official information and your country’s competent authority as primary sources.

How do I choose the right online master’s program?

Connect the master’s choice to your previous qualification and professional goal, then compare course content, research expectations and teaching language. Check each program’s admission terms because eligibility depends on how well your qualifications and documents match the selected path.

What should I review before applying for a doctorate?
