ABSTRACT
The acceleration of change with the COVID-19 pandemic has made a leap in all aspects, including the banking industry.
Islamic banking, which is only a few decades old, has shown a significant increase in assets and institutions that need to be supported by the presence of human resources who understand the characteristics of these institutions so that they do not only focus on domestic affairs but develop overseas.
Redesigning the Islamic banking curriculum is urgent in order to prepare the students to become graduates who can be in line with the needs of the industrial world.
This study aims to redesign the Islamic banking curriculum through an in-depth study of stakeholders, namely study program administrators, industry associations (Islamic bankin.

INTRODUCTION
The world of education knows the term sustainable learning as an extension of the concept of sustainable development, which has been around since 1972.
This term is known as Learning The Sustainable Ways WWF (World Wide Fund for Natur.
in 2008, which states that Education for Sustainable Development has a holistic perspective where education is a continuous process in a changing Sustainable learning begins with planning and providing a mandate for the world of education so that it can develop in changing times in all conditions and situations so that shareholders in the http://journal.

The Covid-19 pandemic has proven to have a global impact on radical transformation suddenly and simultaneously in all fields, including the world of education.
This situation forces educational stakeholders and shareholders to adapt in a short time to new social conditions and online and hybrid learning processes(Hadiwardoyo, 2020.

As an example, the shocking new era after Covid 19, the government of the Republic of Indonesia, in this case the Ministry of Education and Culture, is trying to restore the direction of sustainable learning by launching a new policy for higher education, namely Independent Learning-Independent Campus .
ereafter MBKM) in Minister of Education and Culture Regulation number 3 of 2020 (Baharuddin, 2021.

This Government policy is a response to the Covid 19 incident and a leap in technological developments so that education service providers must make adjustments to the curriculum so that the output of graduates has competencies that match the needs of job providers due to the impact of these changing conditions.
This study examines how minor details are impacted by change, specifically focusing on Islamic Banking within the context of society 5.

The fusion of the virtual and physical realms in delivering banking services is shown to enhance the community's quality of life.
Evaluating and adapting the curriculum for educational services in Islamic banking is necessary to ensure graduates have the competence to thrive in the sector (Intiana et al.

Professional Associations and alumni so that they are able to provide output of graduates who have competence in line with the needs of the Islamic Banking Industry.
The main objective of this study is to formulate a curriculum strategy for the Islamic banking study program by adapting it to changing situations, government policies, and industry needs in order to achieve sustainable learning.
In achieving this goal, this study carried out 2 .
main stages, namely .
Mapping the existing condition of the curriculum of the Islamic banking study program using internal and external factor analysis to find out which part is in the current condition.

METHODS
Using a qualitative approach as an alternative in carrying out this research starts from a dynamic and complex social reality that requires a holistic understanding to develop a theory based on systemic data and a comparative analysis of that fact(Mudzhar, 2017.
Sugiyono, 2.
In order to answer the main objective of this research, the researcher integrated two analytical methods, namely: .
SWOT (Strengths.
Weaknesses.
Opportunities, and Threat.
to identify internal factors that look at the strengths, and weaknesses of the current Islamic banking study program curriculum and external factors in the form of opportunities and threats to the curriculum so that higher education service providers know their current position and are useful in making medium-term decisions in order to support strategic planning that will be made later (Aisyi & Zulkarnain, 2.

This study positions the SWOT analysis as the first stage that must be completed in extracting data originating from internal sources related to Strengths and Weaknesses analysis, while external sources are to identify related opportunities and threats.
The second stage is the use of ANP to carry out weighting which is carried out by researchers and confirmed again by informants in the framework of formulating the strategy.
As for details the combination of the two analytical methods includes several stages of research which include data collection, processing and analysis, namely: .
Literature study and in-depth study of the concept of sustainable learning and government policies on education, .
Compilation of curriculum for Islamic banking study programs, .
Respondent interviews, suggestions related to government policy (MBKM), graduate/industry user needs, curriculum design and graduate competencies .
Design of SWOT-based curriculum evaluation instruments, .
Filling in evaluation instruments by informants .
Confirmation and validation from informants as well as getting feedback based on ANP weighting, .
Analysis and interpretation of data on feedback from informants, .
Formulation of priority strategies for designing Islamic banking curriculum.
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
The curriculum circle suggests that the design of a new curriculum has to be started by doing a needs assessment.
A needs assessment was carried out by doing a SWOT analysis.
Once the analysis had been done, the researchers designed the curriculum based on the result of the analysis.
The design was then consulted with curriculum experts and stakeholders.
Analytic Network Process (ANP) is used to formulate problem priorities to cope with the changing of the curriculum.
The implementation of the MBKM Curriculum is supported by special guidelines issued by the Ministry of Education.

This concept makes science more useful and down-to-earth, not just an ivory tower that is studied in campuses/schools.
Curriculum development is one way to direct educational programs towards sustainable learning.
The curriculum contains a description of the courses that must be achieved by students.
As for the subject, there are both general and specific competencies that will be achieved in the learning process.
The MBKM curriculum proclaimed by the government requires higher education to autonomously make adjustments to industry and environmental needs according to their capabilities.
The curriculum concept is currently being implemented in tertiary education institutions based on specific needs and conditions, often through Memorandums of Understanding (MOU.
between domestic and foreign higher education institutions, companies, and other social organisations.
The MBKM curriculum concept is outlined in the guidebook, specifying that learning activities following Permendikbud No.

The IF matrix is a plan formulation instrument for summarizing and evaluating the main strengths and weaknesses of the functional areas in the business, as well as making the basis for identifying and evaluating a relationship between these areas.
The EF Matrix is an instrument that can assist in strategic planning in summarizing and evaluating economic, socio-cultural, environmental, political, governmental, legal, technological and competitive information.
The matrix can assist managers in organizing strategic external factors into generally accepted categories of opportunities and threats(Fadilah Hasib & Slamet Rusydiana, 2022.

: 67-75 73 of 75 assessment results are then collected and inputted through super decision software to be processed so as to produce output in the form of priorities and super matrices for the strategies carried out in formulation of the Islamic banking curriculum model.
Based on processing with the software, strategic priorities are obtained at the Rapid Growth stage by matching internal strengths with external opportunities in obtaining the S-O strategy, internal weaknesses with external opportunities in obtaining the W-O strategy, internal strengths with external threats in obtaining the S-T strategy, and internal weaknesses with external threats.
In obtaining the W-T strategy, these priorities sequentially include: .
Optimizing Link and Match Synergy in creating a curriculum involving stakeholders .
overnment-Islamic banking industry-organizers of study program.
, .
Optimizing Competence based on the distribution of Courses based on Graduate Learning Achievements, ( .
Optimization of the Process of Implementation and Evaluation of Learning by enabling periodic/incidental review and improvement of the curriculum, .
Increasing the orientation and capacity of Teaching Resources.
CONCLUSION
Sharia banking is rapidly advancing in technology to meet society's evolving expectations and align with curriculum development and stakeholder requirements.
The Islamic Banking Curriculum is a leading educational service provider that focuses on developing Islamic banking through innovation and prioritising sustainable learning.
The Islamic banking curriculum should aim to enhance capacity and competence by preparing graduates with skills aligned with the curriculum and educational advancements at the Association of Islamic Banking Study Programmes across Indonesia level to contribute effectively to national development.
Therefore, any societal evolution and demand necessitates educational innovations to provide solutions to contemporary societal issues.
The Islamic Banking Study Programme curriculum should be flexible to adapt to societal demands and technological advancements to support sustainable learning.
Regular and incidental evaluations should be integrated into the curriculum to ensure its effectiveness.
Collaboration among industry, higher education service providers, and the government is essential to promote sustainable growth.
