Your LL.M International Business Law Journey from St John's, Antigua and Barbuda

Build an international perspective on business law without leaving St John's. Offered online through the exclusive partnership between the University of Cumbria and Robert Kennedy College, the LL.M International Business Law lets you explore legal ideas with relevance across borders while continuing to live and work in Antigua and Barbuda.

Earn a British degree with international recognition

A British degree can add a valuable international dimension to your professional profile. Awarded by the University of Cumbria, this LL.M offers an academic credential recognised internationally.

Whether your ambitions lie in business, legal services or a role that crosses jurisdictions, the degree can help you demonstrate advanced study of international business law. Requirements for particular legal professions or roles vary by jurisdiction, so you should check any applicable local rules.

Study 100% online

Complete the programme entirely online, without relocating or putting your life in St John's on hold. You can make progress towards your qualification while remaining close to your work, family and community.

The online format gives you a practical way to pursue an ambitious goal from where you are. If completion speed matters to you, ask for the current programme information to confirm the shortest available timeframe.

Learn without fixed online attendance times

You do not need to be online at specific times and dates for live attendance. Instead, you can engage with your studies around the rhythm of your day.

That flexibility can make it easier to balance study with professional commitments, particularly when schedules change. You can plan your learning time with your other responsibilities in mind.

Take your studies wherever you go

Study from St John's, elsewhere in Antigua and Barbuda, or while travelling internationally. An online programme allows your education to move with you rather than tie you to a campus.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey or a period without a reliable connection can still become an opportunity to learn.

Show your understanding through open-book assessments

Open-book assessments offer an alternative to classical question-and-answer exams. They give you an opportunity to work with course materials as you develop and present your understanding.

For a subject involving complex legal concepts, this approach can encourage careful reading, analysis and reasoned argument. It shifts the focus from recalling an answer under exam conditions towards explaining how you think.

Learn from internationally educated faculty

The programme's tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Learning with educators who bring varied academic backgrounds can broaden the perspectives you encounter. Their guidance can help you question assumptions and engage more deeply with the ideas shaping international business law.

Join a global learning community

With students from over 130 countries, you can encounter perspectives shaped by different markets, professions and experiences. Those exchanges can make your study of cross-border business issues more rewarding.

Alumni work for international organisations and companies including the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their paths illustrate the breadth of the wider alumni community, while your own career will be shaped by your goals and experience.

Plan your payments over time

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments can help you plan for your studies alongside your other commitments.

Clearer monthly planning can make it easier to decide when to begin. Review the current fee information to understand the payment schedule for your programme.

Explore possibilities from St John's

Tourism and hospitality are important to Antigua and Barbuda's economy. If you work with hotels, travel businesses or their suppliers, an international business law perspective could help you think more critically about cross-border contracts, commercial relationships and the legal questions that can arise when businesses serve international customers.

St John's also connects businesses through its port and maritime activity. For graduates interested in shipping, logistics or trade, the programme's international outlook can provide a useful framework for examining agreements, responsibilities and commercial risks that extend beyond one country.

For those building careers in financial services, entrepreneurship or internationally connected businesses, advanced legal study can strengthen the way you approach transactions and business decisions. From your base in St John's, you can develop knowledge to apply thoughtfully when working with clients, partners or opportunities across borders.
