MBA in Islamic Finance

Islamic finance is developing at a remarkable pace. Since its inception three decades ago, the number of Islamic financial institutions worldwide has risen from one in 1975 to over 300 today in more than 75 countries. They are concentrated in the Middle East and Southeast Asia (with Bahrain and Malaysia the biggest hubs), but are also appearing in Europe and the United States.

Yet despite this rapid growth, Islamic banking and finance remains quite limited in most countries due largely in part to the lack of experienced Islamic bankers around to meet the needs of such a fast growing industry. The University College of Bahrain recognizes that in order to sustain and support the development and growth of the industry, an important prerequisite is the development of talent and expertise that is needed to drive innovation and raises the performance of the industry to greater heights. The MBA in Islamic Finance offered by the University College of Bahrain aims to train Islamic finance professionals in order to address the human capital needs of the Islamic finance industry.

For those in the Islamic banking and takaful industry, or are managing Islamic funds or simply looking to enhance their career prospects into the Islamic finance industry, then the MBA Islamic Finance program will give you a leading and competitive edge over other industry practitioners or executives.

The comprehensive evening Executive MBA Islamic Finance program allows the candidates to receive the theoretical in the evening and immediately put into practices the following day in their respective banks, financial service firms what that have learned. The University College of Bahrain's MBA Islamic Finance is the gateway for a rewarding start in the Islamic financial services industry.
