Insurance is an important fixture in society whereby it supports both national and international economic development and growth. The Takaful industry has shown tremendous growth over the years, offering insurance based on Islamic principles. This can be seen by the rising number of financial institutions providing Takaful insurance in comprehensive packages, at par with those offered by their conventional counterparts. The Takaful degree programme at Management and Science University is designed to provide you with a comprehensive background in finance specifically in Takaful. This programme is delivered using innovative techniques and you will spend your class time immersed in collaborative group discussions, presentations and projects. An internship at the end of the programme will give you the final exposure in the Takaful industry before you embark on your future career.
