Depok, September 25, 2025 – The Islamic Economic Law (HES) Study Program at SEBI Institute conducted a workshop on September 25, 2025, to review its vision, mission, and curriculum based on Outcome-Based Education (OBE). The event took place in the second-floor meeting room of SEBI Institute and was led by the head of the HES program, Luqman Hakim Handoko, S.E.I., M.Sc.
The workshop brought together various stakeholders, including permanent faculty, representatives from related study programs, alumni, members of the Sharia supervisory board, and legal practitioners. Their presence underscored a shared commitment to enhancing curriculum development to meet both academic and professional needs in the field of Islamic economic law.
During the discussions, participants emphasized the urgency of implementing an OBE curriculum that systematically and measurably focuses on Graduate Learning Outcomes (CPL). This alignment is expected to produce graduates who excel not only theoretically but also possess practical competencies required in the workforce.
Key issues addressed included strengthening the role of graduates as fatwa experts, Sharia accounting and auditing standards specialists, Sharia supervisory board members, legal consultants, educators, researchers, and judges in the field of muamalah. Strategic courses that received special attention included Islamic Contract Law, Legal Contract Drafting, Sharia Arbitration, Constitutional Law from the perspective of Siyasah Syar’iyyah, Economic Criminal Law, and Islamic Social Finance Law and Governance.
Additionally, the workshop highlighted the importance of integrating classical jurisprudence studies and turats literature with digital technology, such as Maktabah Syamilah, to enrich student references. Each course is set to be reviewed to ensure alignment with CPL, thereby enhancing the coherence between the program's vision, mission, graduate profile, and learning design.
The discussions also resulted in several important recommendations, including the restructuring of course distribution per semester, reinforcing tahsin and tahfidz programs at the beginning of studies, and developing strategies to ensure uniform academic outputs from students, including reports, research, and scholarly works. The workshop underscored the need to strengthen research methodologies in legal and Islamic law to ensure that student theses accurately reflect graduate competencies.
The constructive atmosphere of the workshop reaffirmed the HES program's commitment to preparing graduates who can comprehend Islamic economic law from various perspectives, including positive law, Islamic law, and institutional practices in Indonesia. Thus, the HES curriculum is expected to not only address global challenges but also remain grounded in Sharia values.
As a follow-up, the HES program will hold subsequent meetings to finalize the workshop outcomes, focusing on refining the Semester Learning Plan (RPS) and mapping courses in greater detail.
The workshop concluded with a friendly gathering and a group photo session with all participants, marking an important milestone in the HES program’s journey toward strengthening a more adaptive, comprehensive, and competitive OBE curriculum.
