In today’s data-driven landscape, Data is a financial institution’s most valuable asset. It is being used more often to drive decisions across all parts of the institution. This development is increasing the demand for specialists in data analytics more than ever before. To address this gap International Council of Islamic Finance Educators in collaboration with IIUM Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance offering first in its kind program entitled “Certificate of Islamic Finance Data Analyst – CIFDA”.
CIFDA provides students with skills to maximise the opportunities that Big Data offers, while learning to apply the principles of data handling in the financial sector. The programme also shows the importance of consulting data analytics when making key financial decisions, and how analysis of the organisation’s data environment can lead to better business outcomes. Furthermore, CIFDA also provides an intensive focus on conceptual and practical aspects of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Machine Learning in Islamic Finance. It is specifically designed to allow Islamic Finance students to emphasize the principles and strategies of the significant role that Artificial Intelligence plays in the development of Islamic Finance methods and concepts. Key topics covered in this program are: Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Data Analysis, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Big Data, Databases, and Finance Use Cases.
Big data and Machine Learning based on Data Science are central themes to enable the understanding of the Islamic Finance student about the theoretical part behind the current technologies which affect the development of Islamic Finance positively. This theoretical part will be presented from Data Analyst perspective to make sure that the student will benefit the most.
In addition, finance use cases and its relationship with each of the above mentioned key topics will be the central concepts and principles throughout the course. These concepts and principles will enable the student to construct intelligence, applicable, and efficient, Islamic Finance ideas.
