Go Further: LL.M International Business Law from Seattle, United States

Build an international perspective on business law without leaving Seattle. Offered online in exclusive partnership between the University of Cumbria and Robert Kennedy College, the LL.M International Business Law gives you the opportunity to explore legal ideas that can be applied across borders while continuing to live and work where you are.

Earn an Internationally Recognised British Degree

Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Cumbria. It is a credential you can bring to conversations with employers and colleagues around the world, wherever your career takes you next.

Studying international business law can strengthen the way you assess commercial relationships, legal risk and cross-border decisions. Recognition for specific professional or licensing purposes varies by jurisdiction, but the knowledge you develop can support work in an international setting.

Study 100% Online

Complete the programme entirely online, without relocating or commuting to a campus. From Seattle, you can pursue postgraduate study alongside your existing professional and personal commitments.

Your time to completion will depend on your study plan and progress. The online format lets you work toward your degree from your current location rather than putting your life on hold.

Learn Without Scheduled Online Attendance

You do not need to be online at specific times or dates for scheduled attendance. That freedom can make it easier to study around meetings, family responsibilities and a changing workweek.

Engage with lectures and course materials when you can give them your attention. You can plan your learning around applicable coursework deadlines while retaining control over when you log in.

Take Your Studies Wherever You Go

Your studies can travel with you, whether you are at home in Seattle, away for work or exploring somewhere new. An online programme makes it possible to stay connected to your learning from virtually anywhere in the world.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. Prepare for a discussion or revisit an idea while travelling, even when a reliable internet connection is out of reach.

Show What You Know Through Open-Book Assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. You can draw on relevant materials as you develop a considered response to a legal or commercial question.

This approach encourages careful reading, research and reasoned argument—skills that matter when complex business decisions rarely come with a single, memorised answer.

Learn from Faculty with Global Academic Backgrounds

Learn with tutors and faculty whose academic backgrounds include world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

These varied educational experiences can enrich the perspectives you encounter as you examine international business law and develop your own approach to challenging questions.

Join a Truly International Learning Community

Study alongside a diverse student base drawn from more than 130 countries. Exchanging perspectives with people from different professional and cultural backgrounds can deepen your understanding of how business operates across borders.

Alumni work for organisations including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Chevron, Verizon, JW Marriott, The Ritz, Hilton, the University of California, Riverside, Abbott Laboratories, AbbVie, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony.

Plan Ahead with Monthly Instalments

The programme's 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 predictable payment schedule, you can focus more of your energy on learning and on the opportunities you hope to pursue after graduation.

Apply a Global Perspective from Seattle

Seattle's technology sector connects products, services, data and commercial partners across borders. For professionals working in or alongside this sector, studying international business law can provide a broader framework for thinking about contracts, business relationships and legal risk.

The region's aerospace and advanced manufacturing activity depends on complex international supply chains. The programme can help graduates approach questions involving suppliers, cross-border transactions and differing commercial expectations with greater confidence and care.

Seattle is also a gateway for trade and maritime commerce. If your work touches logistics, global sourcing or international partnerships, an understanding of business law across jurisdictions can complement your experience and open up new ways to contribute.
