The partnership between Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA) and Trisakti University signifies a significant step in advancing Islamic economics and finance education. This collaboration, solidified through a memorandum of agreement (MoA) signing ceremony, highlights the commitment of both institutions to mutual learning and research endeavours. The event, hosted by UNISSA's Faculty of Islamic Economics and Finance (FEKIm) and Trisakti's Faculty of Economics and Business (FEBI), marks a pivotal moment in the academic relationship between Brunei and Indonesia.
The MoA signing, led by Dean Dr. Muhammad Zaki bin Haji Zaini from FEKIm and Dean Professor Dr. Yolanda Masnita from FEBI, alongside Deputy Deans Dr. Amisuhailah binti Abrahan and Dr. Hajah Husna Leila Yusran, sets the stage for collaborative educational exchanges and programs focused on enhancing Islamic finance studies.
A highlight of this partnership was an international seminar themed ‘Sustainability Issues from Islamic Perspective,’ featuring insights from distinguished faculty members of both institutions. This seminar not only facilitated academic discourse but also emphasized the significance of Islamic principles in addressing contemporary sustainability challenges.
Furthermore, students from both faculties participated in a colloquium covering various academic topics, showcasing the breadth of collaboration and strengthening the educational impact of the partnership. Additionally, a lecture delivered by faculty members to UNISSA students demonstrated the exchange of knowledge and expertise, enriching the educational experience for all involved.
Overall, this collaboration represents more than a formal agreement; it signifies a shared vision towards elevating the standards and global relevance of Islamic economics and finance education. It serves as a stepping stone towards creating a robust academic network, fostering cultural bridges, and enhancing the educational journey for students in this field on an international scale.
