Ma'din Academy to introduce courses in Islamic banking

City-based Ma'din Academy today said it will offer bachelors and masters programmes in Islamic banking and finance from this year.
The curriculum and course structure of the programme has been designed by the prestigious International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) and the courses would commence from September 2016, a release said here.
With a business turnover of over USD 2 trillion and recognition in more than 75 countries, Islamic banking as an academic study looks promising, but there is a dearth of faculty to deliver quality teaching, the release said.
Through this initiative, Ma'din Academy looks to negate this shortcoming and assist economic growth of India by introducing Islamic banking into the domestic financial system, it added.

For a start, about 100 students will be admitted to the undergraduate and post-graduate programmes on full-time and part-time basis.
