Ethica Institute, leader in Islamic finance training and certification, and La Trobe University have launched Australia's first-ever Islamic Finance e-learning program.
This will be the first time ever that a 100-percent online course in Islamic finance is offered as part of an on-campus course, Trade Arabia reported.
Enrolment for the award-winning Master of Islamic Banking and Finance (MIBF) program is now open and online classes begin on January 10, 2011.
The international education industry is Australia's largest services export, contributing over 550,000 students and $12 billion annually to the country's economy.
Moreover, the Australian government actively began promoting Islamic finance in recent years by exploring tax neutrality for Shariah-compliant products.
This year, La Trobe's Islamic finance program won numerous awards, including the prestigious Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) Award for excellence.
"E-learning is the best way to address Australia's growing demand for certified Islamic finance graduates," said Ethica's managing director, Atif Khan.
