Who: Dr Rania Kamla (Course Director)

A result of Dr Kamla’s important research into Islamic accounting is this unique MSc, recognised by The Scotsman as the first course of this kind in the UK. Aswell as focusing on Islamic finance, this programme places emphasis on accounting along with knowledge of Islamic law so students can study this crucial discipline practically and within in an interdisciplinary model.
