MSc International Business with Law: Grow from Birmingham, United Kingdom

Build an international outlook without leaving the city you call home. Delivered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College, the MSc International Business with Law brings together business strategy and legal perspectives you can apply across borders. From Birmingham, you can prepare to approach complex commercial decisions with greater confidence.

Earn a British Degree with International Recognition

A British degree can help you present your qualifications to employers and professional networks around the world. This MSc awards a degree from the University of Salford, giving your studies a clear academic identity wherever your ambitions take you.

By exploring the relationship between international business and law, you can develop a perspective that travels beyond any single market. Whether you hope to advance in an established organisation or pursue new opportunities abroad, that broader understanding can be a valuable asset.

Complete Your Studies 100% Online in as Little as One Year

You can study the programme entirely online, with no need to relocate from Birmingham or travel to campus. That makes it possible to pursue a postgraduate qualification while continuing to build your career and maintain your personal commitments.

The programme can be completed in as little as one year. If you are ready to focus on your next step, online study offers a way to work towards it without putting the rest of your life on hold.

Study on a Schedule That Works for You

There is no requirement to be online at specific times and dates. Rather than arranging your day around live attendance, you can engage with your studies when it suits your working hours and other responsibilities.

That flexibility can be especially useful when projects intensify, schedules change or opportunities arise unexpectedly. You can make room for learning in a way that supports your goals rather than competing with them.

Take Your Learning Wherever You Go

Your studies are not tied to one desk—or even one country. You can continue learning from Birmingham, elsewhere in the United Kingdom or while travelling internationally.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A train journey, a flight or time away from a reliable connection can become an opportunity to keep moving forward.

Apply Your Thinking Through Open-Book Assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you an opportunity to work with the material as you develop and present your ideas.

For a subject that connects business decisions with legal considerations, the ability to analyse information and build a reasoned response matters. Open-book assessment lets you demonstrate those skills rather than relying solely on recall.

Learn from Academics with Global Experience

The programme’s 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 add depth to the perspectives you encounter.

Learning from people shaped by different institutions and disciplines can encourage you to question assumptions and consider new approaches. It is an opportunity to broaden how you think about business challenges in an interconnected world.

Connect with an International Community

With students from over 130 countries, you can encounter viewpoints informed by different markets, industries and professional experiences. Those exchanges can make discussions of international business and law more relevant and engaging.

Alumni work for international organisations including Unilever, HSBC, ICBC Standard Bank, Barclays, GSK, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied paths illustrate the breadth of organisations in which members of this global learning community have built careers.

Plan Your Payments with Interest-Free Instalments

The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time can help you plan your postgraduate studies alongside your regular commitments.

With a clear payment schedule, you can focus on what you want to gain from the programme: new knowledge, wider perspectives and the confidence to pursue your ambitions.

Put Your Ambitions to Work in Birmingham

Birmingham and the wider West Midlands have a strong manufacturing and advanced engineering base, including automotive supply chains. For graduates working with international customers, suppliers or partners, an understanding of cross-border business strategy and legal issues can support more informed commercial decisions.

The city is also a major centre for professional and financial services. If you work in banking, consulting, technology or another business-facing role, the programme can help you examine how commercial opportunities, contracts and regulatory considerations intersect across markets.

Birmingham’s central location and transport links also make it an important base for logistics and distribution. Whether your interests lie in supply chains, growing businesses or international operations, studying business alongside law can help you approach opportunities with a broader view—while remaining rooted in a city with connections across the United Kingdom and beyond.
