I recommend Mr. Irham Amir to study Postgraduate at your university in Msc Islamic Finance and Management. He has a
high knowledge in Islamic Economics. In addition, he has good ethics.

It would be my pleasure to recommend Mr. Irham Amir for the Msc Islamic Finance and Management programme at your
university. I am Irhams tutor and have taught him for 3 years.

While being a student at my class, Irham has good ethics and high knowledge in Islamic Economics. He has always been
eager to learn and enthusiastic about Islamic subjects especially Islamic economics. I think this strong interest will help
Irham to achieve great achievement at Durham University.

Outstanding of the classroom, Irham has participated in many extracurricular activities such as Arabic learning among
Indonesian students and Indonesian Islamic Economic studies. In doing so, he has gained excellent results. His ability to
participate in multiple activities and excel in doing so shows a great sense of commitment and joy for working with other

I highly support him to continue his study at your university because he has greater ability and interest in learning Islamic
Finance and Management.
