In the presence of His Excellency Jamal Salem Al Tarifi, President of Al Qasimia University (AQU), the Sharjah Center for Islamic Economy celebrated the completion of the fourth cohort of students from the accredited Professional Diploma in Islamic Banking.
Approximately 50 students from the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies, as well as the College of Economics and Management, were part of this diploma programme.
During his address at the event, Dr. Awad Al Khalaf, the University’s Director, underscored the significance of graduating the fourth batch from the accredited Professional Diploma in Islamic Banking.
This reflects Qasimia University’s commitment to aligning with the demands of the job market in the field of Islamic banking, in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and the university’s founder.
The objective is to equip students with both academic and professional expertise across various domains, particularly in the realm of financial transactions rooted in Islamic Sharia principles—a contemporary area within local and regional economic markets.
Dr. Yasser Al-Hosani, the Director of the Sharjah Center for Islamic Economy at the University, emphasised that diploma graduates underwent 100 training hours encompassing the inception and development of Islamic banks, financing and investment procedures, banking services, and Islamic finance systems.
This practical training was conducted using real-world models under the guidance of a distinguished team of trainers specialising in the Islamic financial industry.
The ceremony concluded with the recognition of the entities involved in diploma teaching and the Islamic Bank of Sharjah, the centre’s strategic partner.—Sharjah24
