BIEL is designed to produce graduates who not only master economic law but can also apply Islamic values in economics and business. In addition, the students are also trained to think critically, conduct research, and contribute to economic development based on Islamic principles. The graduate profiles set by BIEL are as follows:

1. Legal practitioners, such as judges, lawyers, arbiters, Islamic economic business supervisors and advisors who can implement theories and concepts of economic law and Islamic economic law and have managerial skills as legal practitioners;
2. Researchers who are able to conduct research in Islamic economic law by considering inter or multidisciplinary approaches in response to Islamic economic issues in society;
3. Legal activists who are able to advocate Islamic economic issues in courts or off-courts to create justice in society.

BIEL has several distinctive characteristics that differentiate it from other economic law degree programmes. These are:

1. Interdisciplinary Approach: BIEL combines elements of economics, law, and sharia (Islamic law) to understand and apply the principles of Islamic economics.
2. Focus on Islamic Economic Principles: BIEL emphasises Islamic economic principles, such as social justice, fair distribution, prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (gambling). Students learn to apply these principles in different financial and economic contexts.

Islamic Banking and Finance Law: BIEL offers in-depth insights into Islamic banking and finance law. Students learn about Islamic financial instruments such as mudarabah, musharakah, murabaha, and istisna' and Islamic financial institutions such as Islamic banks and takaful (sharia insurance).
