College News & Developments
In July 2011, Cambridge Muslim College moved to its new home
and permanent headquarters, Unity House, at 14 St. Paul’s Road, in
central Cambridge. The Victorian building, built in 1847, has a large
front office and two teaching rooms on the ground floor, a refectory
and a commercial kitchen where a hot lunch is prepared each day. The
first floor houses the library, the prayer room and offices of the Dean
and Research Fellows. There are separate common rooms for male
and female students. The adjoining buildings – a row of former alms
houses – are used as offices and to house the College’s Arabic book
collections.
For the 2013-14 academic year, the College welcomes as its two
Research Fellows Shaykh Abdur-Rahman Mangera and Dr Michael
(Muhammad As’ad) Berdine, while Dr Matthew Wilkinson continues
as a non-stipendiary Research Fellow. The College is actively working
on an endowment strategy for the next three years and Dr Abdulaziz
Brown has been recruited as Development Officer to oversee this
process.
In the Summer of 2013 CMC became accredited by the British
Accreditation Council, one of the official bodies responsible for
validating independent further and higher education in the UK.
