Become an expert in the world of investment banking and Islamic finance.
The objective of this programme is to equip investment banking professionals with a working knowledge of Islamic finance. Islamic finance is well-entrenched within the conventional setting, therefore the programme has been designed to provide our students with the best of both worlds – using a global approach and perspectives.
