International Centre For Education In Islamic Finance
INCEIF ( International Centre for Education in Islamic Finance) is a global university offering academic and professional qualifications in Islamic finance. INCEIF is committed to elevate and advance Islamic financial knowledge, develop future leaders in the Islamic finance industry through learning programmes and serve as the centre for collaboration with other Islamic financial educational centres. This is particularly important for the Malaysian Islamic finance industry, which is seen to be the most progressive and attractive in the world; its banking assets exceed US$30 billion, and it has the largest Islamic private-debts securities market at US$35 billion.
The establishment of INCEIF reflects the need to invest in human capital to advance the Islamic finance industry. An endowment of 500 million Malaysian ringgit was allocated by Bank Negara Malaysia to cover operating expenses at INCEIF.
INCEIF offers three academic and professional qualifications:
- Chartered Islamic Finance Professional (CIFP)
- Master's degree in Islamic Finance
- Ph.D. in Islamic Finance
In its efforts to establish a network of mutual cooperation and collaboration among institutions of higher learning, INCEIF entered into a strategic partnership with such institutions in Malaysia to strengthen the ability to leverage the respective institutions' research expertise. This is in addition to strategic relationships with Takaful agencies and similar institutions from Indonesia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
The International Shari'ah Research Academy for Islamic Finance (ISRA), which was established to promote applied research in Islamic finance, is also part of INCEIF. ISRA acts as a repository of Islamic knowledge of Shariah views (Fatwā) and studies contemporary issues in the Islamic financial industry.

Famous quotes containing the words centre, education and/or finance:
“Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“Imperialism is capitalism at that stage of development at which the dominance of monopolies and finance capitalism is established; in which the export of capital has acquired pronounced importance; in which the division of the world among the international trusts has begun, in which the division of all territories of the globe among the biggest capitalist powers has been completed.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
