Islamic finance management program at Saudi Effat
By By RIMA AL-MUKHTAR JEDDAH: Prince Turki Al-Faisal, a member of Effat University's board of trustees, launched an executive master's degree program for Islamic finance management at the university and highlighted the success achieved by Islamic banking in overcoming the global economic crisis.Turki said the program, which is first of its kind in the Kingdom, would help qualify national cadre to work in the areas of banking and Islamic finance management. "Islamic banks have succeeded in achieving Shariah objectives and providing interest-free finance to meet investment requirements," he said.
Islamic finance management is the first program under the newly established deanship for higher studies and scientific research at the university. Effat had announced its plan to establish the new deanship during its 10th anniversary in 2009.
Turki said the program would be conducted in association with Rotterdam School of Management in Erasmus University in the Netherlands and the Higher Institute for Business in Lebanon.
Turki said the new deanship would also contribute to achieving the university's strategic objectives and the vision of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah. "The king wanted the knowledge community to continue their academic research for taking Saudi Arabia to the level of advanced countries."
