This study reviews recent research on Student Islamic Ethics in Universities published in Scopus Q1 journals. Thematic analysis was adopted to extract patterns from selected literature published between 2020 and 2025. This study explores the landscape of student ethical behavior within university contexts, highlighting trends and research developments from scholarly works indexed in Scopus. Observing and exploring two phases of research design comprising of qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys, the study offers insights into enforcement practices, compliances, perceptions, and ethical challenges faced by higher education institutions. Data spanning from 2020 to 2025, drawn from leading journals and global publications, demonstrates increasing post-pandemic academic attention. Major contributors to this discourse include countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and the UK. The thematic analysis identifies key themes such as institutional policy enforcement, student compliance, perception of ethical standards, and institutional barriers in ethical implementation. This research contributes significantly to the understanding of Islamic ethical practices in educational settings and offers a foundational basis for future studies in Islamic higher education ethics.
