The Fourth Islamic Finance Leadership Programme, to be held at Clare College, University of Cambridge – Cambridge Islamic Finance Leadership Programme (Cambridge-IFLP) – will help to prepare the next generation of outstanding leaders in Islamic banking & finance by providing them with unique mentoring opportunities, rigorous leadership training from renowned leaders, and industry-specific perspectives through case studies specifically written for this programme.

Those selected for the Cambridge-IFLP will be eligible to receive Cambridge IFA Certificate in Islamic Finance Leadership.

Subsequently, we shall also develop Cambridge Islamic Finance Fellowships (CIFF) to offer an opportunity to the selected candidates to work at the participating Islamic banks and financial institutions (and other such organisations) for a duration of 3-6 months.

The Fellowships are open to young Islamic banking & finance professionals and mid-career executives up to the age of forty, or forty five for women with children.

There are no restrictions on the nationalities of the candidates but preference will be given to those coming from the OIC countries.

The Cambridge-IFLP aims at bringing 35-50 men and women in Islamic banking & finance, on middle and upper middle management positions, to the prestigious University of Cambridge for a period of 5 days, with a view to offer them an opportunity to become members of the most prestigious mentoring programme in Islamic banking & finance.

The 5-day extensive leadership training will be given by well-established leadership and management gurus from around the world.

The social networking event at the University of Cambridge will benefit from the presence of a number of mentors – well-established leaders of the global Islamic financial services industry.

Five most outstanding attendees of the Cambridge event will be chosen for Cambridge Islamic Finance Awards.
