Summer Course: “Introduction to Islamic Finance”
About the course:
Leave your calculators at home because we won’t be crunching numbers. Instead in this two-week course we will be exploring how business practices and culture influence each other in Islamic countries.
The main theme will be Islamic Finance and you’ll get a proper introduction into this field of finance, which is a growing industry. Next to the Islamic Finance themes you will get a proper introduction into Morocco and its history. We will use this background to further explore the origins and reasoning behind Islamic Financial Instruments.
During the summer course we will give you an introduction into Islamic Finance, its origins and the philosophy behind it. These courses will be given at the Netherlands Institute Morocco (NIMAR), a renowned expertise centre for Moroccan Studies.
The course includes:
- Walking tour through the old part of Rabat where we will visit the Mausoleum, the Grand Mosque, the Kasbah, the Andalusian Gardens and the Soukh (market)
- A four-hour guided tour in the old (Islamic) city of Salé where we will explore its history and where we will visit parts that are normally not accessible for outsiders
- A day trip to Casablanca where we enjoy a guided tour in the Hassan II Mosque
- A visit to the Bank Al-Magrib Museum
- A lecture by a religious expert of the Al Mowafaqa Institure in Rabat
- Lectures on Islamic Finance by professors from The Netherlands, Indonesia and Morocco
- Guest lecture by a local business man on the Moroccan (business) culture
- Guest lecture on the Halal Industry in Morocco by a member of the Dutch Embassy in Morocco
