CENTRE FOR

LEADERSHIP
AND LIFELONG

LEARNING

As an Islamic university of this country, Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University (UNISSA)
plays an important role in the development of its ummah, including its students as well as
citizens of society alike. Hence, several programmes for the development of the community
have been offered to the public. The positive feedback received by participants of these
programmes have shown that not only are these programmes needed by the community
itself, there is indeed a strong interest from the people of this country towards continuing
education.

Since UNISSA’s expertise lies in the field of Islamic studies and that the institute itself is also
a centre of higher education in the country, the university plays an important role in serving
its community by providing the knowledge, correct understanding, as well as the suitable
skills needed in various areas of Islamic knowledge. This aspect supports Wawasan 2035,
which aims to develop Brunei as a country of highly educated and highly skilled citizens.
