Global Islamic Finance Industry Exposure

Connecting the classroom to the real world.

Education becomes more powerful when learners understand how financial systems operate in practice.

Through structured industry exposure, participants may gain insight into areas including banking, accounting, Islamic finance, mortgages, real estate and fintech.

Global Islamic Finance Exposure

Learn Globally. Apply Locally.

Islamic finance operates differently across jurisdictions.

Regulation, Shariah governance, banking systems, financial products, real estate structures, securitization and consumer behaviour can vary significantly from one market to another.

Tjara Foundation seeks to expose participants to international perspectives so they can understand these differences and develop a broader view of the global Islamic finance ecosystem.

The initial markets identified for comparative exposure include Canada, the United Kingdom, Indonesia and Uzbekistan, with additional markets contemplated for future development.
