The newly-introduced Shariah Economics undergraduate study programme strives to cater to the global demand for adept graduates with in-depth knowledge in shariah banking and finance. As the sole shariah economics-focused course in Indonesia, Perbanas Institute’s highly-innovative curricula will serve to ensure that graduates of this specialised programme are well-equipped with the fundamental insights and skillset to play a central role in the growth of this largely untapped sector both in Indonesia and worldwide. Perbanas Institute will commence its Shariah Economics study programme in September 2016 while making available a fast-track course of 3.5 years for high-achieving students.
The recent entry in shariah banking and finance education is set to bode well for Perbanas Institute as it forges ahead to become a centre of shariah banking and finance research in Indonesia as well as the region. In order to fulfil this mission, the institute ensures that lecturers of its Shariah Economics study programme have years of industry as well as educational experience in shariah banking and finance. Through this measure, Shariah Economics undergraduate students will be provided early exposure to the industry to better prepare their entry in the workforce. With an average 30-35 students per class, Perbanas Institute ensures an effective learning environment through this highly-focused student to teacher ratio.
As a trusted institution that is well-known for its capacity to produce the next generation of professional bankers, Perbanas Institute’s latest initiative with the Shariah Economics course is set to expand the institute’s renown in conventional as well as shariah banking and finance education in Indonesia. In catering to the increasing demand for bankers with proficiency in shariah economics, Perbanas Institute is ready to contribute to the ongoing developments of Indonesia’s lucrative shariah banking and finance sector.
