MSc Islamic Finance

JANUARY AND SEPTEMBER START DATES AVAILABLE

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.

If you are successful in securing one of the University’s £5000 scholarships (Regional Scholarship, Global Excellence or Global Citizenship) you will automatically receive the Al Maktoum living scholarship, a further £5000 paid to you in 10x£500 monthly instalments. Find out if you are eligible
