Course programme
MIHE was the first institution in the UK to offer a recognised academic qualification in the field of Islamic Finance and its research has supported the development of the rapidly expanding Islamic financial services sector. The MA in Islamic Banking and Finance builds on this significant legacy.
The MA equips candidates with a comprehensive understanding of the economics, the financial instruments and the regulatory framework that underpin the Islamic financial services sector. Students are taken through a broad range of carefully-structured modules in economics, banking, financial instruments, financial institutions, regulatory systems, corporate governance, takaful (insurance) and cross-cultural management. The MA develops analytical competence in Islamic economic thought, research capabilities, and constructive critical insights into the current operations of the Islamic financial sector. The MA also develops scholarly research skills in one or more specialist areas of Islamic economics, banking, financial management or takaful (insurance).
The postgraduate certificate focuses on the study of Islamic banking and finance together with the study of one further module to achieve a total of 60 credit points.
The postgraduate diploma builds on these compulsory modules to allow students to choose from a range of modules to attain 120 credits.
The MA degree requires students to undertake research in specialist areas of economics, banking or management, of their choice and submission of a dissertation of 15,000 to 18,000 words.
