MSc in Islamic Banking and Finance

Islam proposes that the banking systems operate on the basis of an ex ante fixed rate of interest to be replaced by a profit-sharing system in which the rate of return to the financial resources is unknown and is not fixed prior to undertaking the transaction. While an Islam interest is forbidden, trade and profits are permissible and in fact encouraged.

Our new specialised degree provides insight into the analysis of Islamic banking and finance, thereby clarifying the nature of the basic relationships underlying the system.
