One of the primary objectives of the ILEM Academy Program is to enable participants to engage in analysis and comparative evaluations. Reading groups form the main axis of group work in the ILEM Academy.
These Reading Groups are conducted based on reading lists created to support the content of the level seminars and the specific objectives of each level in the ILEM Academy Program. Guided by group advisors, these group studies are conducted with 7-10 students and continue during seminar periods as well as between terms. Book analyses conducted with competent advisors last at least 10 weeks each term. Alongside supplementary readings supporting the program's courses, analyses covering key points of both social sciences and Islamic civilization provide participants with a broad perspective.
