About Centre for Islamic Finance Education and Research (UniSHAMS-CIFER)

Center for Islamic Finance and Research or UniSHAMS-CIFER was established in February 2018. UniSHAMS-CIFER was originally the Department of Islamic Finance which is one of the four Departments in the Kulliyyah Muamalat and Management Sciences (KMS). The establishment of UniSHAMS-CIFER is to highlight the field of Islamic finance as a thrust area (niche) of UniSHAMS and to empower the field of Islamic Finance studies at UniSHAMS.

The existence of UniSHAMS-CIFER is also to distinguish it as a research group that has a high reputation in research and publication achievements, as well as contributing to the fields of Islamic economics, Islamic banking, Islamic finance and muamalat and academic community relations. The main activities that will be implemented are focused on the integration of program offerings, research, publications, training, organizing workshops, consultations and seminars as well as relations with the Islamic finance industry.

UniSHAMS-CIFER offers five study programs namely Diploma in Islamic Banking, Bachelor of Business Administration (Islamic Finance and Banking), Bachelor of Business Administration (Islamic Financial Planning), Master of Islamic Finance and Banking and Doctorate of Philosophy (Islamic Finance and Banking).

Director's Foreword

All praise to Allah S.W.T and blessings and peace be upon Prophet Muhammad S.A.W

Islamic finance is one of UniSHAMS's areas of focus and strength. Based on the importance and potential of Islamic finance in Malaysia, this field needs to be preserved so that it continues to grow until it becomes an industry that balances the conventional financial system.

The establishment of the Center for Islamic Finance and Research or UniSHAMS -CIFER as a center of excellence at UniSHAMS is a proactive step by UniSHAMS to empower this field at the national level and also at the global level. UniSHAMS-CIFER offers study programs in the field of Islamic Finance starting from the diploma level up to the highest level which is the doctoral degree level.

In addition, UniSHAMS-CIFER also has a commitment to produce high-quality research and publications, particularly in the field of Islamic finance and banking. We will also ensure that scientific activities related to Islamic finance will always be carried out actively at UniSHAMS. These activities include a series of Islamic finance lectures, workshops and training that will add value to students and all stakeholders.

Finally, I would like to call on everyone to join us at UniSHAMS–CIFER in the struggle to dignify Islamic Finance in the eyes of the world. May our efforts be blessed by Allah SWT.

So much. Thank you.

Director.
