Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs for the Master in International Business Law Program at the Asian Institute of Management

No, this program is for non-lawyers who want to learn more about the law as it applies to their work and business. However, lawyers are also welcome to join the program to further enrich their knowledge and help them through the business courses.

The program offers a hybrid setup, allowing students to attend classes either online or in a face-to-face setup. If they select onsite courses, they can coordinate with the program team as necessary.

No, this is not a law school, and this is a business course.

We will be doing lectures and case studies, and there will be learning groups so that students can learn to work collaboratively.

We expect the students to have an open mind and participate in class discussions. The diverse backgrounds of your classmates will help in contributing to getting different perspectives and challenges when discussing the topics in each subject.

An LLM is a master’s degree for law students with a particular focus on the updates on the law profession. MIBL, on the other hand, is focused on business and its interaction with law. As such, the courses are curated to focus on relevant and important aspects of laws affecting business. 

Student performance is typically evaluated through a combination of methods, including written case analysis, quizzes, examinations, and simulations. However, the specific assessment methods may vary depending on the teaching faculty, as it falls within their academic freedom to choose how they assess their students.

The capstone project for the MIBL program typically involves teams of students identifying real-world legal challenges or issues in business and demonstrating the independent, intelligent, integrative, creative, and ethical application of knowledge and skills gained in the program. It is designed to address practical business and legal problems posed by organizations.

For non-lawyers, it might be difficult to understand the legal jargon commonly used by those in the law profession, but this will be explained during the classes.

For lawyers, this might be the courses on financial management and other business courses. Also, they will be in a class setting with classmates from different professions, so having an open mind and being collaborative is essential to succeed.

A typical weekly schedule for a student enrolled in MIBL often includes classes held every Friday night and all day on Saturdays, with occasional weekday sessions in case the original schedule coincides with holidays or for makeup classes.

Not at this point, but be rest assured that the courses are curated in a way that they focus on laws that affect the interest of a business.
