About Arab Leadership University

Fully online Arabic digital university serving the League of Arab States.

Overview

This PhD is for researchers who already work Islamic economics, waqf policy, or Islamic finance governance and need a research doctorate, not a professional licence. Arab Leadership University will not appoint you as a mufti, Sharia-board member, or central banker. Sixty credits over three to four years, tuition-free online aside from the examination fee. You will produce bilingual research that treats GCC Vision programmes, family enterprises, and Maghreb–Levant institutions as empirical fields. The proposal must name methods and bounds; attestation of prior degrees is not evaluation of research readiness.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.

**Award:** Arab Leadership University **Credits:** 60 | **Typical duration:** 3 years (36 months)
