I am student of Institute of Knowledge Integration. I have been studying at this project three semesters. From the very beginning I visited online - lectures and after that I subscribed on courses. The main goal of my decision to participate in this project is my interest to Islamic culture. I have publication about modern Arabic literature and Institute of Knowledge Integration inspired me on participation in Middle East scientific studies. I received useful knowledge concerning Islamic world, history of Islamic civilization, intellectual history. Classes concerning Epistemology help me to develop critical thinking. I had brilliant opportunity to deepen my knowledge in sociology, psychology and anthropology. Now I am working under research paper concerning social work in Islamic perspective. I would like to thank to all mentors and instructors for their professionalism and attention to me. Your classes and assignments were interesting and creative!

Pursuing educational degrees or courses through remote learning is something usual in this digital era. But, optimizing your remote learning with a synchronous small class discussion, 24/7 connected to your teacher and classmates around the world via social media, and seeking Islamic knowledge and western-secular science integratively from the reputable scholars at no-cost are something that you can get only from IKI Academy Georgia. For people like me whose background is teaching at the university, for postgraduate students or professors who want to sharpen understanding on integrative approaches without leaving the main jobs, I really recommend IKI Academy Georgia as your first choice.

My experience with IKI Academy has been truly fulfilling. What motivated me to apply is the variety of sciences offered which I was very keen to learn and so far I have been learning a lot, from the humility of the professors to the quality of subject content and the discussions we share in every lecture. I really like the fact that our professors allow us to have an educational dialogue through the learning process.
