To achieve your qualification you will need to successfully complete six core modules, two elective modules and a dissertation or research project.
You will then choose two electives from a range. Elective modules are drawn from Accounting, Management, Marketing and Islamic Finance disciplines, subject to availability.
In the third term, you will carry out an original research project. This may be an independent piece of work or alternatively you may decide to develop a more applied project with an appropriate organisation. Supervised by a faculty member with relevant experience, you will investigate in greater detail a subject that you have already studied as part of your programme. See our website for current modules.
