Zain, Mohd Safri Ali, Syed Hadzrullathfi Syed Omar and Wan Mohd Khairul Firdaus Wan Khairuldin Faculty of Islamic Contemporary Studies, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA), Malaysia ABSTRACT In a multiracial community, interreligion dialogue is an important element to inculcate unity, tolerance and mutual respect between each other. It must be instilled among the community since early teenagers, especially at the university level for the fact that they will inherit the leadership of country in the future. This paperwork aims to perform a general survey on comparative religion course offered in UniSZA and its extent in facilitating the forming of dialogue among students particularly between Muslims and non-Muslims. This is because in the comparative religion course, the students are exposed to information regarding the belief, practice and sensitivity in other religions. This study utilised document analysis method to the pro forma of comparative religion course offered in PUPL and FKI focusing on two aspects which are course learning output (CLO) and course evaluation. This paper found that element of inter-religion dialogue between Muslim and non-Muslim students which is to be achieved in CLO3 in PUPL is not clear from the aspect of course evaluation. Meanwhile, in FKI, this element is not mentioned in CLO3, but it is executed through visits to places of worship and academic exercises. Therefore, a formation of inter- religion dialogue among UniSZa students can be realised through improvement of the course pro forma especially from the aspect of course evaluation that CLO3 will be achieved as expected.
