The International Peace College South Africa (IPSA), is an Islamic Tertiary Institution founded on the principles of peace, unity and equality; established in 2005 through the amalgamation of two community based theological institutions- the Islamic College of Southern Africa [ICOSA] (est. 1990) and Darul Arqam Islamic Institute (est. 1992).
In 2013 the institution celebrated an historic occasion when it became the first Islamic institution of higher learning to be registered by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) in South Africa. This was achieved based on the accreditation of its Bachelor Arts Islamic Studies (BAIS), and later its Higher Certificate in Islamic Studies (HCIS).

“I came to study at IPSA because Cape Town is one of the best places in the world to be in. IPSA is a small institute but with a big influence. IPSA is a good institute with very knowledgeable lecturers. I hope IPSA will be a big institute in the future. I want to promote IPSA and would like for students from other countries to study here. I want to promote IPSA to my country, Malaysia.”

IPSA’s annual Mawlid was once again an extremely heart-warming event, and showcased so much talent from the student’s presentations and performances. This year the main theme was “Love For the Prophet (May the peace and blessings be upon him)” and honestly being present just in body didn’t suffice at all, because wow the atmosphere in the Hall was one which made your heart tremble causing all types of emotions to flow through your veins.
