With a credential recognised internationally, you can present a clear, credible signal of capability when engaging with partners and employers across the MENA region and beyond. Your knowledge of international commercial law becomes an asset that travels with you—across sectors, borders, and opportunities.

Complete 100% Online—On Your Timeline

The programme is purpose-built for online delivery, allowing you to complete every module, reading, seminar, and assessment remotely. This means your learning fits around your professional and personal commitments, not the other way around.

Flexible pacing enables you to progress at a rhythm that works for you. The programme can be completed 100% online in as little as undefined, depending on your intensity and schedule, so you can move swiftly without putting your life on hold.

No Specific Times or Dates for Attendance

Your success shouldn’t depend on being online at a particular hour. This LLM does not require online presence at specific times and dates, so you won’t miss out because of time zones, work emergencies, or family priorities.

Study early in the morning, late at night, or during breaks in your day. Access resources, contribute to discussions, and submit assessments when it suits you—maintaining momentum without sacrificing balance.

Study Anywhere—Including Offline with Our Mobile App

Whether you’re at home in Beirut, visiting clients in the region, or travelling internationally, you can keep learning. You can study from anywhere in the world, even while on the move or while travelling through our mobile app which allows you to download the study material and watch the lectures offline.

Commute time becomes learning time. Long flights become revision sessions. Your studies adapt to your lifestyle, enabling consistent progress no matter where work or life takes you.

Open-Book Assessments that Mirror Real Legal Practice

Real legal work is about analysis, research, and argumentation—not memorising facts in silence. That’s why this programme uses open books assessments instead of classical question/answer exams, encouraging you to engage deeply with cases, statutes, and scholarship.

With open-book assessments, you practice the skills lawyers use every day: interpreting sources, constructing persuasive arguments, and applying doctrine to complex scenarios—skills that employers value and clients trust.

Learn from Faculty Educated at World-Renowned Universities

Our tutors and faculty bring diverse academic and professional experience, with degrees from leading institutions like Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. You benefit from global perspectives, expert supervision, and research-informed teaching.
