بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah UK university to launch Islamic banking course University to launch degree in Islamic banking after demand for 'ethical' lending surges By Daily Mail Reporter <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?s=y&authornamef=Daily+Mail+Repo rter> The banking world has already grown used to accommodating the needs of Muslim savers... and now there's a university degree to match. Salford University in Greater Manchester is launching a degree course in Islamic banking next year in which students will learn how to invest and lend according to the religion's strict financial principles. The postgraduate course is being introduced after a surge in demand from high street banks offering Islamic services to Muslim families. Under Islamic rules, charging and paying interest is viewed as immoral and investments must be made according to strict ethical principles. Islamic banks have opened in a number of British cities and major banks, including HSBC and Lloyds TSB, already offer Islamic products and services. Although they cannot pay interest, Islamic banks must still offer competitive returns to customers and turn a profit. Banks make money for investors by taking fees for matching investors and borrowers, buying into businesses, or buying and leasing assets to potential borrowers. The MSc course - one of the first of its kind - will initially be open to 20 students next year. Lecturer Hussein Abdou said: 'It's predicted demand for Islamic services will treble in the next few years. 'The course is not just for Muslim students. It is open to all people who want to have a unique position in the jobs market.'
