LSE Islamic Finance Seminar Series

The LSE’s Islamic Finance Seminar Series was commenced in the Michaelmas Term 2013. The intention of the Series is to enable LSE law students and the broader LSE community to explore and learn about how Islamic Finance works: to explore its underpinning ethical principles and the transaction structures that facilitate Sharia compliant financing. To enable this, this web page provides video access to many of the seminars as well as the accompanying power point presentations where available.
