We have a strong history and expertise in teaching traditional finance and economics. This degree is jointly delivered with Al Maktoum College in Dundee and draws upon their expertise in Islamic finance and wider Islamic studies. Few degrees of this kind exist in the UK.
The degree programme covers:
the application of Islamic commercial law in relation to Islamic financial institutions and financial products
the emergence and working mechanisms of Islamic capital markets
the operations of Islamic banks and Islamic financial markets, alongside the nature of risk and its management in Islamic financial institutions
You will challenge the contemporary issues and debates in Islamic finance and gain an understanding of the internationalisation strategies and strategic decisions in business.
You’ll also have the opportunity to take part in a global internship as part of this course.
You can also contact the course director, Professor Bill Russell, via Skype to discuss the course.
