Monday, March 06 2017
As part of the ongoing collaboration between Katholieke Universitiet Leuven (KU Leuven) and UMT School of Law and Policy (SLP), Syed Imad ud Din Asad, Director SLP, is teaching, a graduate-level course on Islamic Finance at KU Leuven, Belgium, for faculty exchange. He is teaching this course for the third consecutive year. Previously, he taught the course at KU Leuven in February 2015 and February 2016.
The course is a condensed version of the course on Islamic Finance that is being taught in LL.M. in Commercial Law program at UMT School of Law and Policy (SLP), which also serves as a testament to the fact that the quality of courses offered by SLP is at par with the ones offered by top law faculties in the developed world.
As part of the exchange arrangement, professors from KU Leuven or its partner universities will teach short-courses at SLP in the fall of 2017. One professor from KU Leuven’s partner university taught a short-course at SLP in 2015; three professors from KU Leuven’s partner universities taught short-courses at SLP in 2016.
SLP is the only law school in Pakistan which is engaged in active collaborations with European and North American law faculties that not only entail knowledge sharing but also cultural interaction. All of these collaborations are based on reciprocity and equality. No other law school in Pakistan has achieved this level of recognition and distinction.
It is worth mentioning that KU Leuven was established in 1425; it is the first and the largest Belgian university; it is the oldest existing Catholic university; and it is among the top 100 universities in the world.
