State Islamic University of North Sumatera (Bahasa Indonesia: Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Sumatera Utara, abbreviated as UINSU) is a state Islamic university located in the large city of Medan, North Sumatra, and is the only state Islamic university in North Sumatra.
Like most of State Islamic University, State Islamic University of North Sumatra is also a college education provider in addition to Islamic studies.
When IAIN of North Sumatra was established in 1973, its main mission was to serve as an Islamic university institution that transmitted Islamic knowledge in the sense of 'ulûm dîniyyah. Along with the knowledge development and the needs of national development, then in the era of the 1990s, IAIN SU entered a new phase which was characterized by the provision of a wider mandate. Furthermore, entering the era of the 2000s, IAIN SU enters a more developed stage that is not just a wider mandate, but also has to lead to scientific integration. This development was then followed up by the transfer of institutional status of IAIN of North Sumatra to State Islamic University of North Sumatra (Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara). Furthermore, it is in line with this change that the study of knowledge at IAIN has changed from monodiscipliner to interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. Thus, the vision and mission of knowledge in UIN SU has also been changed, in accordance with the changes and the development of present social life. From a paradigm point of view, UIN SU uses the living system as a paradigm master, which aims to expand ideas and simplifies the process of combining different kinds of knowledge into one container.
