Re: Islamic courses / degree in London
Peace mizzrani
May Allah (SWT) aid your noble plans. Ameen.
Here are some links that might be useful, but caution needs to be taken with the secular institutes and often getting more than one perspective is vital in learning Islam. I would suggest:
- Orientalist approach (take with caution)
- Ahl-e-Hadith/Salafi approach
- Sufi approach

associated with Abdul Hakim Murad (good links and plenty of resources)
London School of Islamics - teach core resolutions to contemporary Muslims, I am on their email distribution list
Al Kauthar Institute - I have invigilated their exams on a few occasions they are teaching from the Ahl-e-Hadith approach (resembles Hanbali) … These offer modules which make up a diploma and then you can extend to degree I think.
