Education

Master's degree, Development Studies
  • at Aberdeen University
  • November 2012

I got a distinction for my Thesis writing ( US Aid, a blessing, a need or a curse) and a prize for best dissertation written. This innovative programme aims to train students to undertake studies and research addressing socio-economic as well as politico-cultural changes in Muslim-majority as well as Muslim-minority countries/regions around the world taking into account moral and religious values. The programme examined the core issues of development studies, particularly socio-economic changes, global poverty, inequalities and relevant issues in developing countries with particular reference to the Muslim world. For Muslims, Islam is an essential part of daily life, which has far-reaching impact in social and political aspects of societies. The programme was multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives, particularly from historical, sociological, anthropological, economic, and political perspectives in relation to various understandings of modernity and development in Islamic tradition as well as Islamic societies. Many developing countries with large Muslim communities have large natural resources and considerable potential for growth and development, yet many are poverty stricken. It plays an important factor in influencing social, political and economic policies. Thus, the course was design to provide students with a framework to study, research, and understand some of these and many other questions through studying this particular course. Students will have the opportunity to study the complexity of modern Muslim societies and immense potentials for their socio-economic developments. the framework was designed to undertake detailed studies and analysis, which will contribute to global peace and prosperity. The focus will be on theory and practice of development and modernisation within Muslim-majority countries as well as in countries such as European countries, where Muslims form large communities, but remain in the margins of society. There will be opportunity to investigate the causes of such marginalisation and how using Islamic teachings and framework they can overcome some of their problems both in Muslim world and where they form considerable large communities.
