LL.M International Business Law — Your Future from Kriens, Switzerland

Build an international perspective without leaving the place you call home. The LL.M International Business Law, delivered online by the University of Cumbria in exclusive partnership with Robert Kennedy College, offers a way to deepen your understanding of the legal ideas that shape business across borders while living in Kriens, Switzerland.

Earn an Internationally Recognised British Degree

Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Cumbria. It is a qualification you can present as you pursue opportunities in internationally connected organisations.

For someone building a career from Kriens, that international outlook can be especially valuable. You can strengthen your academic credentials while continuing to develop your professional and personal life in Switzerland.

Study 100% Online

The programme can be completed entirely online, so your studies need not depend on relocating or making a regular journey to campus. Your learning can fit alongside the commitments you already have.

Instead of putting your ambitions on hold, you can make progress from your current location. Online study gives you the flexibility to pursue a postgraduate qualification while remaining connected to your work, family and community.

Learn Without Fixed Attendance Times

You are not required to be online at specific times or dates. That freedom makes it easier to plan study around working hours, changing schedules and the moments when you learn best.

Whether you prefer to read before the working day begins or engage with lectures later in the evening, you can create a routine that works for you. The result is a more manageable way to pursue a demanding academic goal.

Take Your Studies Wherever You Go

Study from Kriens, elsewhere in Switzerland or anywhere your plans take you. The online format lets you stay connected to your programme even when your location changes.

The mobile app adds flexibility when you are travelling or on the move: download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey can become an opportunity to review an idea, revisit a lecture or keep your learning in motion.

Show What You Know Through Open-Book Assessments

Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. They invite you to work with sources and develop considered responses.

That approach can help you practise the habits of postgraduate legal study: interpreting material, weighing arguments and communicating conclusions clearly. The emphasis is on using knowledge thoughtfully, not simply recalling it under exam conditions.

Learn from Faculty with Distinguished Academic Backgrounds

Programme tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Their varied academic backgrounds can enrich your engagement with international business law. As you encounter different approaches to complex questions, you can develop a broader perspective of your own.

Join a Truly International Learning Community

Study alongside a diverse student base representing more than 130 countries. Sharing ideas across borders can challenge assumptions and bring fresh perspectives to the legal and commercial questions you explore.

Alumni work for organisations including Universite de Lausanne, Nestlé, UBS, Chubb, Zurich, Novartis, Roche, International School of Central Switzerland, Institut Monte Rosa, Institut Florimont, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony.

Plan Your Payments

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. This option can help you plan the cost of your studies over time.

With a clear payment schedule, you can consider how postgraduate study fits into your longer-term plans while focusing on the learning and opportunities ahead.

Think Globally, Grow from Kriens

Kriens sits beside Lucerne, in a region connected to tourism and hospitality through destinations such as Mount Pilatus. If your interests lie in these sectors, studying international business law can help you examine the contractual and commercial ideas that matter when organisations work with customers, suppliers and partners across borders.

The wider Lucerne area is also home to internationally active businesses and service providers. An understanding of cross-border business relationships may be useful to graduates interested in commercial, compliance or advisory roles, where clear reasoning about agreements and responsibilities is valuable.

For entrepreneurs and professionals in Kriens, the programme offers space to think beyond a single market. Its legal theory can be applied to international business questions, helping you approach new partnerships and opportunities with greater confidence and a broader perspective.
