ISLAMIC FINANCE EDUCATION AT THE GRADUATE LEVEL CURRENT STATE AND CHALLENGES

Zubair Hasan

Islamic Economic Studies, 2008, vol. 16-1, 1-29

Abstract: Over the past three decades, Islamic finance has been the fastest growing segment of the global financial system. Though it may be expected that education and training have kept pace with this fast growing market, this paper finds that the current state of Islamic finance education at the graduate level is in a very unsatisfactory state. Using Malaysia as an illustrative case, the paper looks at the range, sufficiency and quality of Islamic finance education. It evaluates the current state of Islamic finance education at the graduate level in the context of the overall graduate education in Malaysia and suggests policy measures to meet the future challenges of the Islamic finance education, particularly at the graduate level.
