of course i am...its therapeutic radiography...sounds kinda like a beauty treatment although its not...erm..yep of course im interested in it...i cant lie and say i didnt know about the whole tuition fee thing and how i fell in love and all with it...i mean at first i was thinking huh? no way not for me...then i actually made the effort to do research into and thought hey coolio as ive always wanted to go into the whole healthcare thing but not a doc or nurse so seemed like a cool thing for me to do...especially as i can spread out into the field of researching inshaAllah and also not a lot of muslim people do it...so that kinda appealed to me...also ive had a personal experience of a friend who was diagnosed with cancer...i mean half my friends didnt even know what a radiotherapist was..one thought it was a DJ...hmmm

[Sister_6038]

I don’t know where I want to study, my options are uni of Manchester, UCL, Kings College, or Al-Azhar, as of yet and as to what I want to study, It’ll either be Arabic and Islamic studies if I go to study in Egypt and if I stay in the UK then it’ll be optometry, dentistry or pharmacy. Don’t know….I like all of them.

Doing Optometry? Thats good. Whats the course like? How much Mathematics/Physics/Biology/Chemistry involved? Also I heard theres a lot of clinicals in that. Just whats the course like generally?

[Hijaabi22]

^ Well cool

[Malaikah]

:sl:

:sl:

oh well im in first year and at my uni first year optom is like a basic science course, we do just plain chemistry biology physics and a vision science subject, so we can prepare for the following years, which seems to imply that Physics/Biology/Chemistry are pretty important. maths is important too but not full on imprtant really more of a basic understanding required. with physics its really more the optic side of things that is more important later one and bio is just generally pretty important for understanding the eye and even the body as a whole (which we need to know, physiology, biochemistry and stuff).

we dont have clinical things until much later on, um well because optom at my uni is actually based around a clinic, we get to work at that clinic before we go round to other places.

but im loving the optom related subject!! (vision science) alhamdulilah

School of Oriental and African Studies? I was considering applying there, because the courses they run, are all specialised in the developing world. And they also offer Arabic. But I'm not sure anyway, was considering Economics and Arabic.

Wouldn't it be great if there was an Islamic University that was renowned for its Secular education. With many degrees to offer, good research (for post-grad) all this in an Islamic Environment...

Would be great

[Javid]

Inshallah that will also happen one day...Itll take timeeeeeeeee tho!

[Javid]

There are already many darulooms providing A-Levels so I dont see why they wont go on to provide degree courses....If they have the adequate resources.

[seeker_of_ilm]

:sl:

But alot of the time, I've been told these Darul Ulooms don't fare well in the Results charts. I don't know why that is, be it lack of resources, teachers, or unwilling students. But Inshallah one day they will excel

I think its the teaching. theres not enough qualified muslim teachers in darulooms with the relevant degrees so because of this the teaching is poor.

[*noor]

Many of the universities and colleges in the U.S. are excellent to study at, especially in New York. So many people come from the other states to study in NY, also so many people from other countries. if you want to know what the best universities in NY are they're NYU, Columbia, Cornell and theres a bunch of others. NY also has the best public university system in the nation called the City University of New York, which is made up of 19 different colleges, a couple of which are considered top schools such as Brooklyn College and Hunter College(in Manhattan). They're both very good schools and i had a hard time choosing one over the other.
