Islamic Banking, Finance and International Business MSc
In collaboration with Al-Maktoum College, you will learn about the Islamic banking sector, Islamic finance, and international business
Islamic Finance looks at the processes of managing money and doing business in a way that fits with the moral principles of Islam. This is also known as being Shari'ah-compliant. Islamic financial institutions operate in over 75 countries worldwide. They have become highly influential in the global financial landscape.
Banking is an industry that handles cash, credit, and other financial transactions for individual consumers and businesses alike. An understanding of this is key when conducting international business.
