PhD in Islamic Finance and Economy

PhD in Islamic Finance and Economy

  • --> --> --> -->

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Islamic Finance and Economy is an innovative multidisciplinary program that provides students with the required analytical and research skills to understand, analyze, and interpret the workings of the rapidly expanding Islamic financial services and market sectors, and to tackle their emerging challenges and opportunities.

The program is centered on the national priorities as set out in the Qatar National Vision 2030, on the local aspirations as enshrined in the objectives of the Shari’a, and on global targets such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

A key motivation for the PhD program is to develop unique and innovative approaches for the continuous transformation of economies to be more responsible, inclusive, and resilient. The policy relevance for Islamic finance continues to increase, alongside the need to understand and integrate concepts such as responsible finance, green finance, and circular economies.

Program Focus

The program focuses on Qatar’s economy and businesses with expected spillover benefits in the region and globally. In this sense, the program’s curriculum philosophy and content are unique as they refer to local values, national targets, and international goals. It also seeks to develop synergy between the three through transformation, social entrepreneurship, and shared prosperity and well-being.

The following are the main features of the program:

  • Quantitative foundation Examine how to critically investigate and analyze the relationship between finance, economics, and Shari’a by using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.
  • Shari’a studies Acquire the abilities to interweave the tenets and values of Shari’a with the theory and practice of finance and economics, and develop a mindset to analyze, innovate, and create solutions to contemporary challenges.
  • Social entrepreneurship Promote innovation, original thinking, and entrepreneurial creativity and acumen in applying Islamic finance and economics theories in Qatar and other circular economy contexts.
  • Sustainability Provide students with an in-depth understanding of the pivotal role played by entrepreneurs in developing a sustainable economy and promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth and wealth.
  • Responsible finance and economics Foster a deep understanding of environmental, social, and governance concerns and analysis of Islamic finance and economic principles, through which students become prepared to participate effectively in reforming theories, practices, and policies.

I. Introduction

Mindful of the importance of qualified human resources for social advancement and sustainable development, the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) has been very keen from the outset of its establishment to focus on human capital development alongside its mainstream development financing activities.  

In recognition of the vital need to develop the human resources of the Muslim communities in non-Member Countries (non-MCs), IsDB launched its undergraduate scholarship program (SP) in 1983 under the title Scholarship Program for Muslim Communities (SPMC).  

Capitalizing on the experience of a decade of the SPMC, IsDB decided to establish the Merit Scholarship Program (MSP) for Ph.D. studies and post-doctoral research in applied science and high technology to strengthen the scientific, technological and research capabilities of institutions in Member Countries (MCs), which was launched in 1992.   Later, the Master of Science Scholarship Program (M.Sc.)  was launched in 1998 as a feeding program for the MSP, realizing that 20 of the Least Developed Member Countries (LDMCs) could not benefit from the latter.   

In IsDB’s Realigned Strategy 2023 – 2025, the Bank dedicated an entire pillar to the support of comprehensive and inclusive human capital development.  Through this pillar, IsDB aims to help MCs and Muslim communities in non-MCs to address these challenges with capacity-development initiatives, including scholarship programs. It is also an important component of IsDB’s efforts to promote economic development and shared prosperity through the global development of human capital by investing in education.

Our Student Say!

“Pursuing Islamic finance education at AIMS proved extremely advantageous in my efforts to secure the most suitable Sharia-compliant financial products for my company, as well as for other banking transactions. During my interactions with Islamic banks, I observed that numerous senior officials lacked familiarity with Islamic financial products and methodologies, often resorting to conventional practices. My knowledge of Islamic finance, acquired through AIMS, allowed me to guide my company’s management toward Sharia-compliant operations by adopting an analytical approach.”
“I gained a lot from studying Islamic finance at AIMS, and it greatly benefited both me and my company. Through my experience working with Islamic banks, I noticed that many senior officials tend to handle Islamic products, services, and situations in a conventional way.
