LL.M International Business Law from Singapore
Build your understanding of the rules and principles shaping business across borders without leaving the life you have built in Singapore. The LL.M International Business Law is delivered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Cumbria and Robert Kennedy College. It offers a way to deepen your legal knowledge while continuing your professional and personal commitments.
A British degree with international recognition
Earn a British degree awarded by the University of Cumbria while studying from Singapore. For professionals working with international colleagues, clients or markets, a British qualification can be a valuable addition to a global career profile.
The programme explores ideas relevant to business beyond any single border. You can develop a stronger foundation for analysing cross-border challenges and communicating with people whose work spans different legal and commercial environments. Recognition for specific professional purposes may vary by employer or jurisdiction.
Complete your studies 100% online
The programme is designed to be completed entirely online. You can pursue an advanced qualification without relocating or stepping away from the opportunities and responsibilities that matter to you in Singapore.
An online format gives you a practical route from enrolment to graduation, with a pace of study you can plan around your commitments. Completion time depends on your individual study path.
Study without fixed online attendance times
There is no requirement to be online at specific times and dates. Whether your working day starts early, ends late or changes from week to week, you can engage with your studies when it suits your schedule.
That flexibility can make it easier to keep learning alongside meetings, family life and other priorities. It also lets you give challenging topics the focused attention they deserve, rather than fitting every study session into a fixed live timetable.
Keep learning wherever life takes you
Study from Singapore or anywhere else your work and travels take you. Your learning can continue when you are away from your usual desk, helping you maintain momentum through a changing routine.
The mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline. You can prepare for your next topic while travelling or revisit a lecture when an internet connection is unavailable.
Show your understanding through open-book assessments
Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you the opportunity to work with learning resources as you develop and present your understanding.
For an international business law student, that approach supports careful reading, research and reasoned analysis. It encourages you to do more than recall information: to consider how legal ideas can inform complex business questions.
Learn with internationally educated faculty
Your 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 bring a breadth of perspective to the learning experience.
As you explore international business law, that range of experience can help you encounter different ways of thinking about legal and commercial issues. It is an opportunity to challenge your assumptions and grow more confident in your own analysis.
Connect with a global learning community
Study alongside a diverse student base drawn from more than 130 countries. Conversations with peers whose careers and experiences differ from yours can make international concepts more vivid and broaden the questions you bring to your studies.
Alumni work for organisations including AIA, EtonHouse, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied paths illustrate the breadth of professional backgrounds represented in the wider learning community.
Plan your payments with interest-free instalments
Investing in further study is an important decision. Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, giving you a way to spread the cost over time.
Clearer payment planning can make it easier to consider how postgraduate study fits alongside your existing commitments. You can focus on the knowledge you want to build while working with a payment schedule that is more manageable for you.
Bring an international perspective to Singapore’s industries
Singapore’s position as a centre for trade and logistics makes cross-border business questions part of everyday commercial life. If you work with supply chains, procurement or regional operations, studying international business law can help you think more critically about the legal principles that shape commercial relationships across markets.
In Singapore’s financial services and fintech sectors, organisations regularly navigate transactions, partnerships and expectations involving multiple jurisdictions. The programme can help you develop a broader framework for examining those challenges and discussing them with legal, compliance and business colleagues.
Singapore is also a hub for technology companies and regional headquarters. Whether your work touches digital services, intellectual property or international expansion, a deeper grounding in international business law can strengthen the questions you ask and the perspective you bring to decisions with cross-border implications.
