FOREWORD

Islamic finance has developed into a global phenomenon. The industry has a globally

diverse clientele and is attracting growing interest from global players who are increasingly

playing major roles in this industry. Islamic finance is considered as an alternative to the

conventional economic and financial system and is seen as the possible solution for the

current global financial crisis. In Malaysia, the Islamic financial industry has emerged as a

competitive component of the financial system, along with the conventional financial system,

in contributing towards the country’s economic development. Malaysia has a rather

comprehensive Islamic financial infrastructure and the success of integrating the Islamic

finance into the Malaysian financial system contributes to a more progressive domestic

financial intermediation process. This has attracted many foreign investors and has created

a strong global demand for the Islamic financial system through the financial services

provided. Parallel to the dynamic and increasing growth of Islamic finance locally and

globally, the Financial Sector Master Plan (FSMP) launched by Bank Negara Malaysia

(BNM) in 2001 has unveiled the aspiration to make Malaysia a regional Islamic financial

centre and a leading Islamic finance education hub.

In Islam, finance falls under the purview of muamalat. ‘Muamalat’ refers to procedures or

rules in the context of various forms of man-to-man relationships generally categorised as

social, political and economic based on Islamic laws which emphasise fairness and social

justice to all. Embracing a holistic view in providing quality human capital for the further

progress of the industry locally and globally, the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia

(MOHE) has taken the initiative to develop an integrated, comprehensive and globally-

accepted Programme Standards for Muamalat and Islamic Finance (MIF) to ensure quality

assurance and academic excellence.

MIF essentially covers all shariah-based economics and the Programme Standards include

five equally important components such as Muamalat, Islamic Economics, Islamic Finance,

Islamic Management and Islamic Accounting. Other programmes that are relevant to the

scope of MIF are also included in this Programme Standards document.

This document outlines the Standard Framework for different levels of qualification as

determined by the Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF): Level 3 (Certificate), Level 4

(Diploma), Level 5 (Advanced Diploma), Level 6 (Bachelor’s Degree), Level 7 (Postgraduate

Diploma & Master’s Degree) and Level 8 (Doctoral Degree). This Standard Framework also

ii

provides guidelines for the different modes of study such as coursework, research and a

combination of both. In addition, this Programme Standards also introduces a new Doctoral

Degree qualification known as Doctoral in Muamalat and Islamic Finance (DMIF) with a

complete guideline.

This document represents the significant contribution from a panel of experts from the

MOHE, Higher Education Providers (HEPs) in both public and private sectors, related

industries and government agencies. Coming from different backgrounds, these experts (as

listed in Appendix 1) worked meticulously over a short period of time.

Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) would like to thank the panel of experts for their

support and contribution in developing this document.

With our sincere appreciation and gratitude, praise to Allah SWT.

ASSESSMENT OF STUDENTS

“Student assessment is a crucial aspect of quality assurance because it drives student

learning and is one of the measures to show the achievement of learning outcomes. The

achievement of learning outcomes stipulated for the programme is the basis in awarding

qualifications. Hence, methods of student assessment have to be clear, consistent, effective,

reliable and in line with current practices and must clearly support the achievement of

learning outcomes” (COPPA, 2008, pp.15).

The methods of assessment depend on the specific requirements of each module. However,

as a general guide, the following must be considered.

1. A combination of various methods of assessment to measure the achievement of the

learning outcomes should be used.

2. Summative and formative assessments should be considered.

3. Knowledge and understanding (the cognitive domain) on theories and practical skills

should be accessed through written, oral or other suitable means.

4. Soft skills are to be analysed through elements of style, personal identity, confidence

and quality of innovation and creativity.

5. In relation to continuous and final assessments, candidates are required to pass

both.

The types of assessment indicated below are merely examples. HEPs are encouraged to

use a variety of methods and tools appropriate for measuring learning outcomes and

competencies.

STUDENT SELECTION

This section of the Programme Standards document concerns the recruitment of students

into the individual programme of study. In general, admission policies of the Programme

need to comply with the prevailing policies of the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education

(MOHE). "There are varying views on the best method of student selection. Whatever the

method used, the Higher Education Provider (HEP) must be able to defend its consistency.

The number of students to be admitted to the Programme is determined by the capacity of

the HEP and the number of qualified applicants. HEP admission and retention policies must

not be compromised for the sole purpose of maintaining a desired enrolment. If HEP

operates geographically separated campuses or if the Programme is a collaborative one, the

selection and assignment of all students must be consistent with national policies" (COPPA,

2008, pp.17).

The standards for the recruitment of students into the Muamalat and Islamic Finance

programmes are formulated keeping in mind the generic national Higher Education policies

pertaining to minimum student entry requirement.

EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

“Adequate educational resources are necessary to support the teaching-learning activities of

the programme. These resources include finance, expertise, physical infrastructure,

information and communication technology, and research facilities. The physical facilities of

a programme are largely guided by the needs of the specific field of study” (COPPA, 2008,

PP23).

For Muamalat and Islamic Finance programmes, Higher Education Providers (HEPs) are

required to provide sufficient resources conducive to support teaching and learning in the

field. For lecture and tutorial rooms, and technical support/facilities, sufficient space to

accommodate student-centered learning must be provided. For research in Post-graduate

programmes, candidates should be provided with a conducive work area.

CERTIFICATE, DIPLOMA & ADVANCED DIPLOMA

PROGRAMME MONITORING AND REVIEW

HEPs need to ensure that the overriding responsibility of the academic authority (e.g. senate

or academic board) is to set, maintain and assure standards are adhered to and that any

delegation of power by the academic authority to approve or review programmes is properly

defined and executed.

HEPs should involve external participation from local and international parties such as

employers, professional bodies, industrial players and government representatives at key

stages for the approval and review of programmes, as independence and objectivity are

essential to provide confidence that the standards and quality of the programmes are met.

A committee is to be set up to oversee the monitoring and reviewing of the programmes.

This committee consists of university staff, government representatives, professional bodies

and employers with a major responsibility for the direction of the programme. It should meet

periodically during the academic year and it will receive regular reports from those

responsible for different aspects of the programme and from students as well as to consider

proposals for revisions to the programme. Students can give feedback on the curriculum in

cases where there is a curricular overlap between departments, disciplines, and

programmes. A survey can be conducted to determine the satisfaction of students with the

academic programme and the job readiness of the staff. Meanwhile, peer review may be

used not only to evaluate the quality of an individual lecturer’s teaching, but also to review

course contents.

Decisions for the approval of the programme must take into consideration academic

standards and the appropriateness of the learning opportunities which will be offered to

students. However, the final decision to approve a programme is under the academic

authority, or a body acting on its behalf that is independent of the academic department, or

other units that offered the programme, all of whom have access to any necessary specialist

advice. In addition, there is a confirmation process, which ensures that a programme has

fulfilled all conditions stipulated during the approval process and that recommendations have

been considered.

HEPs shall monitor periodically the effectiveness of their programmes to ensure that

programmes remain current and valid in light of developing knowledge in the discipline.

HEPs shall also evaluate the extent to which the intended learning outcomes are being

50

attained by students. Appropriate actions should be taken to evaluate the continuing

effectiveness of the curriculum and evaluate the assessment in relation to the intended

learning outcomes.  It is to ensure that recommendations for appropriate actions are acted

upon to remedy any shortcomings. After updating the programmes, HEPs must publish or

make available the outcomes to related parties. Subsequently, the changes must be

incorporated in the new documents.

In the event that program has to be discontinued, measures should be undertaken to notify

students enrolled in the program to protect their interests.

51

LEADERSHIP, GOVERNANCE AND ADMINISTRATION

“There are many ways of administering an educational institution and the methods of

management differ between Higher Education Providers (HEPs). Nevertheless, governance

that reflects the leadership of an academic organisation must emphasise excellence and

scholarship. At the departmental level, it is crucial that the leadership provides clear

guidelines and direction, builds relationships amongst the different constituents based on

collegiality and transparency, manages finances and other resources with accountability,

forges partnership with significant stakeholders in educational delivery, research and

consultancy and dedicates itself to academic and scholarly endeavours. Whilst formalised

arrangements can protect these relationships, they are best developed by a culture of

reciprocity, mutuality and open communication” (COPPA, 2008, pp.34).

This document will not raise issues pertaining to governance and administration as these are

at the institutional rather than at the programme level. In this programme, academic

leadership is largely focused on suitable qualified persons to carry out the necessary

curriculum monitoring and review of MIF development. The leaders of the programme should

demonstrate knowledge of Islamic principles reflecting the attributes of good ethical values in

work practices.

The leadership requirement of this standard is complimentary to Area 8 in the COPPA

document. Thus, the specific positions and the Programme leadership positions (e.g.,

Coordinator, Head of Department or Head of Programme) offered at different levels in the

Institution must preferably fulfil the qualifications and experience as follows:

CERTIFICATE AND DIPLOMA

A Bachelor’s Degree in MIF or the related area.

BACHELOR’S DEGREE AND BELOW

A Master’s Degree in MIF or the related area with TWO years of relevant experience.

MASTER’S DEGREE

A Doctoral Degree in MIF or the related area;

OR

A Master’s Degree in MIF with THREE years of relevant experience in the related area.

52

DOCTORAL DEGREE / DMIF

A Doctoral Degree in MIF with THREE years of experience in the related area,

OR

A Master’s Degree in MIF with FIVE years of relevant experience.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF STUDY

HEPs must provide a credible Board of Study for the commencement and restructuring of

the MIF programme. The Board of Study should comprise shariah scholars, academic

personnel from other institutions, subject-matter experts and professionals with relevant

backgrounds.

ENDOWMENT FUND

HEPs are encouraged to set up waqaf/endowment funds. The funds will be managed by a

board of trustees consisting of selected academic staff in MIF and relevant parties.

53

CONTINUAL QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

The Malaysian government is making a concerted effort to make Malaysia the world’s

Islamic finance hub. Hence, it is paramount for the government to develop a pool of human

capital and talents to provide the market with shariah-based knowledge and technically-

competent individuals (in both conventional and Islamic markets) to work in the Islamic

finance sector. The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) has been given the mandate to

ensure that this vision is achieved. Therefore, the MOHE has given HEPs the task of coming

up with and maintaining the quality of education in this country.

In order to ensure continual quality improvement, the activities listed below are

recommended.

1. A curriculum review, at regular intervals; at least once every three to five years.

2. The appointment of two external reviewers (from the industry) for check-and-

balance purposes in the assessment process.

3. The appointment of visiting scholars to impart new knowledge and to enhance the

curriculum contents.

4. University industry, community linkages and roundtable dialogues.

5. The participation of academic staff at conferences, seminars, workshops and short

courses; and the knowledge gained is to be shared with faculty members/students.

6. Research-based and problem-based teaching/learning.

7. The sharing of knowledge through talks and/or presentations by industry experts

and professors in related fields.

8. A joint collaboration with professional bodies (local and overseas) to incorporate

market practices in the curriculum design.

9. A continuous review of industrial attachment practices and records.

10. Dialogue sessions with stakeholders.

11. A survey of alumni members at regular intervals to obtain feedback on how the

programme has prepared them for the workforce.

12. The establishment of a quality control unit.

13. Adjunct and visiting professors from the industry.
