Research and Community Service
Research and Community Service at Al Madinah
Thank you for your interest in conducting research or community service at Al Madinah. We are glad to be a learning partner for students, lecturers and researchers, and we want every project to genuinely benefit both sides.
First step
Start with an audience meeting
Before arranging a permission letter from your university, please request an audience meeting first. Together we discuss the topic, the school's needs and the plan, so your research is better focused and its results are useful to us.
Research permission letters delivered without an audience meeting cannot yet be processed.
Application Process
