The MBA with Diploma in International Business Law is a UK master’s degree delivered 100% online by LEAP Education and awarded by a UK university partner with degree-awarding powers. The programme totals 180 credits at FHEQ Level 7 and is assessed entirely by assignment, with no written examinations.
Standard completion is 12 months. You can start at any time, study around full-time work and submit coursework online. Fees from £7,700 with interest-free instalment plans. Graduates progress to postgraduate study or senior management roles.
Senior leadership panels reject commercial directors who can close deals but cannot articulate the jurisdictional risks embedded in those contracts. You need a credential that proves you understand both the P&L implications of a merger and the legal frameworks governing cross-border liability.
You gain the ability to lead high-stakes negotiations where legal strategy and business objectives are aligned from the first meeting. You move from seeking approval for every international contract to authoring the risk framework that protects corporate assets. This qualification enables you to present board-ready assessments of regulatory exposure, turning legal compliance from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage for market expansion.
