PhD in Islamic Finance and Economy

• --> --> --> -->

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Islamic Finance and Economy is an innovative multidisciplinary program that provides students with the required analytical and research skills to understand, analyze, and interpret the workings of the rapidly expanding Islamic financial services and market sectors, and to tackle their emerging challenges and opportunities.

The program is centered on the national priorities as set out in the Qatar National Vision 2030, on the local aspirations as enshrined in the objectives of the Shari’a, and on global targets such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

A key motivation for the PhD program is to develop unique and innovative approaches for the continuous transformation of economies to be more responsible, inclusive, and resilient. The policy relevance for Islamic finance continues to increase, alongside the need to understand and integrate concepts such as responsible finance, green finance, and circular economies.

Program Focus

The program focuses on Qatar’s economy and businesses with expected spillover benefits in the region and globally. In this sense, the program’s curriculum philosophy and content are unique as they refer to local values, national targets, and international goals. It also seeks to develop synergy between the three through transformation, social entrepreneurship, and shared prosperity and well-being.

The following are the main features of the program:

• Quantitative foundation Examine how to critically investigate and analyze the relationship between finance, economics, and Shari’a by using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.
• Shari’a studies Acquire the abilities to interweave the tenets and values of Shari’a with the theory and practice of finance and economics, and develop a mindset to analyze, innovate, and create solutions to contemporary challenges.
• Social entrepreneurship Promote innovation, original thinking, and entrepreneurial creativity and acumen in applying Islamic finance and economics theories in Qatar and other circular economy contexts.
• Sustainability Provide students with an in-depth understanding of the pivotal role played by entrepreneurs in developing a sustainable economy and promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth and wealth.
• Responsible finance and economics Foster a deep understanding of environmental, social, and governance concerns and analysis of Islamic finance and economic principles, through which students become prepared to participate effectively in reforming theories, practices, and policies.

Online PhD in Islamic Finance and Economics (DIFE)

Online phd in islamic  finance and economics.

EUCLID’s online PhD in Islamic Finance and Economics program was developed at the convergence of EUCLID’s expertise in global governance, international civil service and interfaith studies. Historically, this PhD program was developed after EUCLID signed an agreement with the OIC-affiliated Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI, now ICCIA) which called for the creation of an MBA in Islamic Finance as a Joint Initiative between EUCLID and ICCI. This PhD builds on EUCLID’s experience and offers a unique opportunity to achieve a terminal degree and the higher level of experience in both Islamic economics and finance.

Academic Presentation

EUCLID’s Doctorate in Islamic Finance and Economics represents 90 US credits (120 ECTS) of coursework beyond the Bachelor’s. In practice, students may enter the DIFE with a relevant Master’s degree, complete 30 to 35 US credits of core doctoral courses, followed by the actual writing of the dissertation in 5 phases. The resulting thesis should be a publishable book offering a clear contribution to the field and establishing the author as a subject-matter expert.

Among the suggested areas of focus are:

• Islamic Banking Sustainable development
• Islamic Microfinance
• Alternative Banking Models

Areas of research

While research in Islamic finance has expanded quickly, general research in Islamic economics, which began in the 1970s and 1980s, has grown more slowly. The areas of research that we focus on include all broad areas of Islamic economics and finance (for example, Islamic political/moral economy, Islamic banking and finance, Islamic insurance, Islamic capital markets, Islamic commercial law) by developing the theoretical, empirical and law-oriented studies in these areas.

The main areas of research within the PhD programme are:

Islamic economic theory 

• the micro and macro foundations of Islamic economics
• formation of Islamic political economy
• formulating Islamic moral economy
• the theory of maqāsid al Shari’ahand its implications for Islamic economic theory
• the development of Shariah based products (in contrast with Shariah compliant products). Newly developed products should not be a mere innovation but rather an 'invention'. This will develop synergies in a wide range of areas of Islamic finance and Islamic sustainable development

Empirical Islamic finance

• Islamic banking and finance and sustainable development
• Islamic moral economy and the performance of Islamic banking and finance
• Islamic capital markets (sukuk markets)
• Maqasid al-Shari’ah performance of Islamic banks, Islamic stocks and other Islamic institutions
• Islamic charitable giving behaviour and maqāsid al-Shari’ah performance of Islamic charities

Islamic commercial law

• Islamic financial contracts and transactions
• investigation into corporate law for Islamic finance
• the impact of government legislation on Islamic finance
• arbitration in Islamic law
• how Islamic law complies with intentional law 

Key research projects

This is only some of the possible key research projects:

Islamic economic theory

• aspects of the microeconomics foundations of Islamic economics
• aspects of the foundations of economic welfare in Islamic economics 
• macroeconomic policy in Islamic economics (including monetary and fiscal policy, and the associated monetary and fiscal instruments)
• Islamic political economy
• Islamic moral economy vs Islamic economics 
• methodological aspects of Islamic economic theory including Islamisation vs Authentication in Islamic economics and epistemological approaches to Islamic economics including conventional/Islamic methodological frameworks

• ethics and the formation of Islamic economics 
• Islamic financial institutions and banks (their operational aspects)
• Islamic finance without and before banking (the form vs substance debate in Islamic finance and banking, and the direction of change in Islamic finance and banking)
• evaluating the performance of the emergent non-banking Islamic finance institutions which is shaping the nature and process of the future direction of Islamic finance and banking
• socially responsible Islamic investment and finance: corporate social responsibility and Islamic finance, green Sukuk, social banking etc.
• in-depth analysis of the challenges facing the regulatory structure of the Islamic finance industry. 
• empirically investigate the role of Shari’ah boards in shaping the changing nature of (i) Islamic finance, (ii) the Shari’ah boards and their fatwa, and (iii) how the re-defined Shari’ah auditing is shaping authentic Islamic banking operations
• capital requirements, credit risk weighting of assets (standardized and internal rating based approaches), treatment of leases, micro finance, project finance, operational risks, market risks, securitisation and Islamic banking and market disciplines, and the implications of supervisory review process
• systemic risks, credit risks, market risks, operational risks, and liquidity risks, particularly stemming from the unique asset and liability structures of Islamic banks due to Shari'ah compliance, perception of banks and regulators regarding these risks, and various risk exposures underlying Sukuk structures

PhD Islamic Banking and Finance

Fostering excellence in islamic banking and finance, introduction.

Keeping in view the increasing and growing demand for the Islamic banking and finance industry, Hasan Murad School of Management (HSM) planned to launch the first-ever program in Lahore dedicated to fulfilling the demand of this increasing trend. The growth of Islamic banking in the country has been over 30% in the last few years, which is certainly above the average global growth rate of Islamic banking and finance. If this trend continues, then one should expect that in the next three years Islamic banking assets will at least double from their current size of Rs 926 billion.

PhD in Islamic Banking and Finance is envisioned as a pioneering educational and training program for participants to acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to win a distinguished place in the emerging global market of Islamic Banking and Finance.

Aims and Objectives

PhD in Islamic Banking and Finance is aimed at providing relevant education and training in all aspects of the operation of Islamic Banking. The program's specific objectives are:

• To provide an opportunity to graduates with relevant experience to acquire knowledge and training for a career in Islamic Banking and Finance.
• To train executives desiring specialization in Islamic Banking and Finance in expanding banking and financial institutions.
• To provide an opportunity for graduates in related disciplines to prepare them to enter the ever-expanding job market in Islamic Banking and Finance.

Career Opportunities

The participants after successfully completing the PhD program are expected to be competent for a wide variety of positions in Islamic Banking. They can be considered for jobs in both public and private educational institutions, research organizations, the State Bank of Pakistan, and commercial banks. They can also expect to hold positions in various Federal and Provincial ministries.

The scholar will therefore need to secure additional funding in order to be able to take up their studies at Queen Mary. For further details of the requirements set out by UK Visas and Immigration, please see  the Advice and Counselling Service guidance.

Eligibility and applying

Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria set out by the Islamic Development Bank as well our entry requirements .

Hear from Our Global Learners!

“I took my first step towards Islamic Finance in the year 2006. It was when I enrolled in the AIMS PhD in Islamic Banking and Finance online program at AIMS. After completing my studies, I secured a good position in one of the leading Islamic banks. When I started my PhD in Islamic Banking and Finance as a part-time student, I found it hard to research and write. However, the highly supportive faculty and in-depth study of Islamic banking financial modes helped me and enhanced my confidence. Time passed in the blink of an eye, and I completed my PhD in Islamic Banking and Finance. Now, I am a senior investment consultant, and I feel fortunate to have chosen AIMS to build my career.”
