100% Online — Graduate in as Little as 1 Year

Move fast without compromising on depth. The programme is designed so that, depending on your pace, you can complete it 100% online in as little as one year. That means you can achieve a transformative academic milestone while maintaining your professional trajectory and life commitments in Qatar.

The streamlined structure helps you focus on what matters: mastering concepts, applying them to real scenarios, and advancing your career. Each module builds logically on the last, enabling you to sustain momentum and see tangible gains in your day-to-day decision-making as you progress.

No Fixed Live Attendance Required

There are no requirements to be online at specific times and dates. Learning is asynchronous, so you can watch lectures, contribute to discussions, and complete tasks at the times that best suit your schedule — whether that’s early morning in Lusail, a quiet afternoon in Msheireb, or late evenings after work.

This flexibility respects your realities: demanding projects, travel, family, prayer times, and community obligations. You remain in control of your learning rhythm, while still benefiting from structured academic guidance and clear milestones to keep you on track.

Study Anywhere — Even Offline with Our Mobile App

Learning travels with you. Through our mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline — perfect for commutes across Doha, flights through Hamad International Airport, or quiet weekends away. Your campus fits in your pocket.

Whether you prefer a laptop at your desk or a tablet on the go, you’ll have a consistent academic experience with seamless access to resources, discussions, and assessments. Your progress is synced across devices so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

Open-Book Assessments that Mirror Real Work

Instead of classical question/answer exams, the programme embraces open-book assessments that reflect how modern leaders actually operate: consulting sources, evaluating frameworks, and making informed decisions. You demonstrate mastery by synthesising knowledge, not memorising it.

This approach rewards critical thinking, research acuity, and practical application. You will tackle authentic scenarios that develop your ability to reason through complexity — a true differentiator in international business and legal environments where nuance matters.

World-Class Faculty and Mentors

Learn from tutors and faculty whose academic roots include world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. They bring high standards, fresh research, and real-world insight into every module.

Just as importantly, they serve as mentors — helping you translate theory into action, deepening your analytical approach, and guiding you as you frame strategic decisions with clear legal awareness. You’ll be challenged and supported in equal measure.

A Truly Global Classroom and Network

Join a diverse cohort representing over 130 countries. Your classroom discussions become a powerful exchange of perspectives across industries, cultures, and markets. You’ll learn how strategies land in different contexts and how legal frameworks interact with business realities worldwide.

Our alumni are making an impact at leading organisations including the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, and Sony. Their journeys demonstrate what’s possible when rigorous learning meets global ambition.

Flexible Payments that Fit Your Plan

Advance without putting your goals on hold. Our fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, helping you spread your investment over time while you continue to earn and progress.

This manageable structure lets you align your study with your financial planning, maintain momentum in your career, and realise the returns of postgraduate education sooner.

What This Degree Can Unlock for Professionals in Qatar

Qatar’s energy leadership and sustainability ambitions demand professionals who understand international markets and the legal dynamics that shape them. With this master’s, you can bring sharper analysis to LNG contracts, joint ventures, and cross-border supply chains; navigate regulatory expectations and ESG disclosures; and engage confidently with counterparties across multiple jurisdictions.

In finance, logistics, and trade, the country’s strategic position and world-class infrastructure (from Hamad Port to Qatar Airways Cargo) create opportunities that reward advanced international business thinking. You can apply coursework to areas such as cross-border risk management, trade finance, and dispute resolution while engaging with global frameworks relevant to free zones and international partnerships.

Qatar’s innovation drive across technology, sports, and major events further amplifies the value of international business with legal insight. From sponsorship and IP licensing to procurement and vendor contracts, you’ll be equipped to structure deals, protect value, and steward partnerships that meet world-class standards while advancing your organisation’s global objectives.
