Universiti Darul Iman

About

Universiti Darul Iman (UDM) was a public university in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia, established in 2006. It was uniquely known for its integrated approach, combining Islamic studies with modern scientific disciplines, offering programs in areas such as Sharia, Usuluddin, and Islamic finance. However, UDM ceased to exist as an independent entity in 2013, having merged with Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). Consequently, there are no longer specific international programs or dedicated support offices for UDM; prospective international students interested in its former academic specializations should now explore the relevant faculties and offerings at UMT, which continues its legacy.
