Ibn Haldun University, with its strong academic infrastructure in the social sciences and its interdisciplinary approach, is well-positioned to respond to the changing economic needs of Turkey and the world. In line with this vision, we are pleased to announce the launch of a thesis-based master's programme in Islamic Economics and Finance at our university.
The Master's Degree Programme in Islamic Economics and Finance with Thesis has been designed for individuals who wish to specialise in the growing field of Islamic finance, taking into account the transformations in both our country's and the global financial system. Thanks to its strategic location and deep ties with the Islamic world, Turkey has the potential to rapidly become a centre for Islamic finance. Ibn Haldun University aims to reinforce this potential through academic education, providing its students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The programme will teach students how to manage the global financial system in a more equitable, sustainable, and ethical manner, while also comprehensively covering the fundamental principles of Islamic finance, such as equitable distribution, risk sharing, and the prohibition of interest.
The fact that the language of instruction is English makes the programme extremely valuable not only in Turkey but also in terms of academic and professional opportunities worldwide. This will enable students to gain the ability to communicate effectively in global financial markets and keep abreast of international developments. The programme will also contribute to students' understanding of the different dynamics of the global financial system by offering students from different regions the opportunity to learn and collaborate together.
Ibn Haldun University's Master's Programme in Islamic Economics and Finance with Thesis is not only an academic education process but also provides an important opportunity for the establishment of a financial understanding based on social responsibility and Islamic moral values. This programme offers a unique educational opportunity for students who wish to specialise in Islamic finance and aim for a globally effective career. This programme, which will begin accepting students in the spring semester of the 2025-2026 academic year, opens its doors to those who aim to advance in the field of Islamic Economics and Finance.
