Overview

Built for people who already work

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 24 months. You can start at any time, study around full-time work and submit coursework online. Fees from £5,700 with interest-free instalment plans. Graduates progress to postgraduate study or senior management roles.

Global trade regulations are shifting faster than most generalist managers can track, turning compliance from a back-office chore into a primary driver of deal velocity. Leaders who cannot interpret the legal implications of cross-border transactions are being sidelined in favor of those who can protect revenue while navigating complex international frameworks.

Graduates step into roles where they own the strategic alignment between commercial goals and legal risk, effectively removing the bottleneck between sales ambition and regulatory reality. You gain the capability to structure enforceable international contracts, lead compliance audits for multinational expansion, and advise C-suite executives on jurisdiction-specific liabilities. This authority allows you to approve high-value deals with confidence, knowing the legal architecture supports long-term profitability rather than just short-term gain.

This pathway targets senior professionals in emerging economies such as Nigeria, Kenya, the UAE, and Southeast Asia who are currently capped at mid-level management due to a lack of formal legal-business credentials. It is designed for operations directors, business development heads, and entrepreneurs with five to ten years of experience who already manage complex contracts but lack the recognized qualification to command a Director-level salary or board seat. If you are ready to transition from executing deals to architecting the legal strategy behind them, this combined MBA and Law Diploma provides the definitive proof of competence required by global employers.
