Abstract

This article aims to analyze the governance practices of Islamic higher education at Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA) in Brunei Darussalam based on the Field Experience Practice Program of students in the Master’s Program in Educational Management at Mulawarman University. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, academic participation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that UNISSA successfully integrates Islamic values with modern management systems through the application of good governance and total quality management principles. Transparent, accountable, and quality oriented governance is reflected in academic and administrative services as well as the campus organizational culture. These findings support the view that Islamic higher education institutions can adapt to global demands without losing their Islamic identity. The article is expected to serve as a conceptual and practical reference for the development of governance in Islamic higher education institutions in Indonesia.
