What is EAQS?

The European Academy of Quranic Studies (EAQS) is a non-profit academic institution based at the British Muslim Heritage Centre. It was established in 2012 to promote the study, teaching and research of Al-Tadabbur and other Qur’anic sciences.

A Board of Directors under the guidance of Scholars and Advisors manages the Academy.
