Islamic Finance University of Dundee

Overview

The  University of Dundee  aims to undertake world-class research in Islamic political and moral economy, finance and banking. All research projects will be inspired both theoretically and methodologically by humanities and social sciences subject areas, including political and moral economy, economics, development, philanthropy, and Islamic commercial law.

Areas of research

• While research in Islamic Finance has expanded quickly, general research in Islamic economics, which began in the 1970s and 1980s, has grown more slowly.
• The areas of research that we focus on include all broad areas of Islamic economics and finance (for example, Islamic political/moral economy, Islamic banking and finance, Islamic insurance, Islamic capital markets, Islamic commercial law) by developing the theoretical, empirical and law-oriented studies in these areas.
