You pay one term at a time, and each term can be split.
Data protection, artificial intelligence, cross-border employment, digital contracts: the regulatory ground has shifted more in five years than in the twenty before it, and it is still moving. Most organizations do not need another lawyer on retainer. They need people inside the business who can recognize a legal problem while it is still small. That role barely existed a decade ago, and it is being filled right now.
In compliance, contracts, procurement, HR and operations, the costliest problems are the ones no one recognized as legal in time. The program gives you working knowledge of data protection, AI regulation, ESG and compliance, corporate law and international business, so you can identify risk early, ask the right questions, and know when it is time to call a lawyer.
The Master in Legal Studies is designed for professionals who deal with legal questions without being lawyers: managers, compliance officers, HR leaders, public servants and entrepreneurs. It is not a law degree and does not qualify you to practice law. It makes you the person in the room who understands the rules, a role organizations increasingly value.
Compliance officer, data protection lead, legal operations manager, and governance and ESG roles inside the business.

A through F, not pass/fail. Moving faster does not mean being assessed more loosely: assessments are proctored, and projects are graded against published rubrics. What changes is the pace, not the standard.
The Intensive pace takes about six months; the Standard pace, about nine. You are not charged more for taking longer or less for finishing sooner: the price is fixed for the whole program, so the calendar stops being a financial decision and becomes your own again.
Start any day, with no intake dates. Finish in about 6, 9, or 12 months for the same total price, paid as a first payment plus 18 monthly payments. Students in more than 21 countries are already enrolled.
The Free Competency Program gives you the first two courses of the degree at no cost, with a tutor and a certificate you keep. If you continue, they count toward your degree and the $48 enrollment fee is waived.
