Go Further: LL.M International Business Law from São Paulo, Brazil
Build an international perspective without leaving the city you call home. The LL.M International Business Law, offered online through an exclusive partnership between the University of Cumbria and Robert Kennedy College, gives you the opportunity to explore legal ideas that can be applied across borders while continuing your life and career in São Paulo.
Earn a British degree with international recognition
Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Cumbria. It is a qualification you can present as you pursue opportunities in Brazil and beyond.
For professionals whose work touches international markets, studying business law through a British degree programme can bring a valuable perspective to conversations with colleagues, clients and partners across jurisdictions.
Study 100% online
Complete the programme entirely online, with no need to relocate or put your career in São Paulo on hold. You can engage with your studies from wherever your work and personal commitments take you.
The online format offers a route to postgraduate study without a campus commute. For current information about the time needed to complete the programme, consult the course catalogue.
Learn without fixed login times
You do not need to be online at specific times or dates to attend classes. That flexibility can make it easier to study around meetings, family responsibilities and work across time zones.
Rather than arranging your day around a scheduled lecture, you can choose when to engage with the learning materials and plan your study time around your other commitments.
Take your studies wherever you go
Study from São Paulo, elsewhere in Brazil or wherever your travels lead. The online format means a change of location does not have to interrupt your connection to the programme.
When you are on the move, the mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey or time away from your usual workspace can become an opportunity to keep learning.
Show your thinking through open-book assessments
Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. You can focus on engaging with legal ideas and developing a reasoned response, rather than relying on memorisation alone.
That approach invites you to work carefully with the material, connect concepts and explain your conclusions—habits that can be valuable when considering complex international business questions.
Learn with internationally educated faculty
Learn from 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.
Exposure to educators with varied academic experiences can broaden the perspectives you bring to your studies and encourage you to examine international business law from more than one angle.
Join a community spanning more than 130 countries
Become part of a student community representing over 130 countries. Studying alongside people with different professional and cultural experiences can enrich discussions about business in an interconnected world.
Alumni of Robert Kennedy College programmes work for international organisations and companies including the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their paths illustrate the breadth of the wider alumni community, though individual career outcomes will vary.
Plan your payments with interest-free instalments
Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. This gives you a way to spread the cost over time as you plan your studies.
For a professional balancing education with other commitments, a predictable monthly payment schedule can make it easier to budget for the next step in your development.
Connect your learning to São Paulo’s international economy
As a major centre for finance and business services, São Paulo brings together organisations involved in investment, banking and cross-border transactions. An understanding of international business law can help graduates approach questions about commercial relationships, obligations and risk with a broader legal perspective.
The city is also a hub for technology and digital commerce. For graduates working with expanding platforms, international customers or business partners, the programme’s concepts can offer a framework for thinking through agreements and the legal dimensions of operating across markets.
São Paulo’s links to manufacturing, trade and supply chains create further opportunities to apply international legal thinking. Whether your ambitions lie with an established company or a growing enterprise, the LL.M can help you develop the perspective to contribute to discussions that reach beyond one market.
