Respect Graduate School (RGS) is an academic institution which specializes in Islamic Studies. Our mission is to achieve excellence in teaching, learning and scholarship, which naturally leads us to a continuous quest for betterment on the journey of acquiring knowledge. Being aware of the opportunities and challenges of our global social contexts, we believe that an important way of achieving this excellence in knowledge is to engage both classical and interdisciplinary methodologies into our studies. With this model, we aim to be a contemporary academic institution with genuine appreciation and application of the traditional wisdom.
For us, the quest for excellence in knowledge is a defining feature not only for our students and faculty, but also for all humanity. Therefore, an academic institution should be able to open channels for the broader society by providing intellectual opportunities and services. In this regard, our name Respect indicates the value that guides our everyday practices. We believe that every individual and every being deserve respect regardless of their orientation and current position. Thus, we respectfully welcome the members of the broader society who sincerely like to be a part of our journey at Respect Graduate School."
