IEBL (LL.M.) Program

In the fall of 1994, the Graduate School of Law at Kyushu University established Japan’s first Master’s program taught entirely in English, the LL.M. in International Economic and Business Law (IEBL). Drawing upon a Faculty with particular strengths in the fields of economic and business law, the IEBL program is designed to provide international and Japanese students with the ability to confront the challenges of international economic affairs and commercial transactions. To this end, students are expected to take courses and complete a Master’s dissertation.

All students will be expected to complete a 20-credit (approx. five courses per semester) curriculum and submit a Master’s Thesis.

Courses offered within the framework of the IEBL program are grouped around four key themes:

• Global Governance and Corporations
• Economic and Business Law in Asia
• Innovation and the Law
• Fundamental Perspectives on Economic and Business Law

The IEBL Program is taught on a full time basis and takes 12 months for completion, beginning in October every year and ending in September of the following year.

Full details on the program are in the IEBL Pamphlet available here.
