LLM International Commercial Law — Your Future from Lisbon, Portugal
Build an international perspective on business law without leaving the life you have built in Lisbon. The LLM International Commercial Law is delivered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College. Its focus on international commercial law can help you explore legal ideas with relevance across borders, industries and markets.
Earn an Internationally Recognised British Degree
A British degree can be a valuable credential when your ambitions extend beyond one country. Studying with the University of Salford gives you the opportunity to pursue a qualification that is recognised internationally while continuing to live in Lisbon.
Whether you hope to develop your career in Portugal or pursue opportunities elsewhere, the degree can help you communicate your specialist interest in international commercial law to a global professional audience.
Complete Your Studies 100% Online
The programme is designed to be completed entirely online. You can work towards your LLM from Lisbon without relocating or making regular trips to a campus.
Online study offers a way to pursue an advanced qualification alongside professional and personal commitments. You can keep your goals in view while building your knowledge step by step.
Study Without Fixed Online Attendance Times
You do not need to be online at specific times and dates to take part in your studies. That flexibility can make it easier to plan learning around work, family responsibilities and the rhythm of life in Lisbon.
Instead of arranging your week around scheduled online attendance, you can choose study periods that suit you. It is an approach that supports focused learning while leaving room for the commitments that matter to you.
Take Your Learning Wherever You Go
Your studies do not have to stop when you leave Lisbon. Because the programme is online, you can continue learning from elsewhere in Portugal or from anywhere in the world while travelling.
The mobile app adds flexibility on the move: you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey, a change of location or time away from your usual workspace need not put your learning on hold.
Show Your Understanding Through Open-Book Assessments
The programme uses open-book assessments instead of classical question-and-answer exams. This gives you an opportunity to engage with materials as you develop and present your understanding.
For a subject shaped by interpretation and argument, open-book assessment can encourage careful analysis and well-supported reasoning. You can focus on connecting legal ideas rather than relying solely on recall.
Learn with Internationally Educated Faculty
Your learning is supported by tutors and faculty whose educational backgrounds include world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.
That range of academic experience can bring different perspectives to your studies. As you examine international commercial law, you can benefit from guidance informed by engagement with leading centres of learning.
Join a Truly International Student Community
With students from more than 130 countries, the wider learning community offers opportunities to encounter perspectives shaped by different places and professional experiences. Studying from Lisbon does not mean studying in isolation.
Alumni work for international organisations and companies including the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied paths reflect the breadth of the community you can join, without implying any particular career outcome.
Plan Your Payments with Interest-Free Instalments
Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time may help you plan for study alongside your other commitments.
With a clear instalment option, you can consider how the programme fits your budget as you prepare for your next step. The focus remains on making a considered investment in your education.
Connect International Commercial Law to Lisbon’s Industries
Lisbon’s technology and startup community often looks beyond Portugal for customers, partners and investment. For graduates interested in these businesses, an understanding of international commercial law can provide a useful foundation for thinking about cross-border contracts, commercial relationships and the legal questions that arise as companies grow.
As a city with strong links to maritime trade and international logistics, Lisbon also offers a setting in which cross-border commerce is highly visible. The programme’s international perspective may be valuable to graduates seeking to understand the agreements and commercial risks that connect businesses across markets.
Tourism, hospitality and international investment are further parts of Lisbon’s economy where commercial relationships can reach across borders. Whether your interests lie in advising businesses, working within an organisation or broadening an existing legal career, the LLM can help you develop a wider lens through which to consider international transactions.
