Qualifi Level 7 Diploma in International Business Law

Qualifi does not say, and that is a genuine gap rather than an oversight on our part. The page lists six required subjects and two optional ones, but gives no credit value for any subject and no rule about how many options must be completed to reach 120 credits. Both might be required; one might be enough. The centre specification dated April 2023 will carry the answer, so ask your centre for it and get the choice rules confirmed before you commit to a study plan.

It might support an application. It does not deliver one. The published progression wording refers to an "LLM with the associated partner University", which sounds specific but identifies no institution anywhere on the page, and sets out no credit transfer terms. A Master of Laws is awarded by a university, under that university's own admission rules, and it will form its own view of a Level 7 diploma from an awarding body. Contact your intended university directly, quote the qualification number, and rely on what it tells you rather than on the phrase.

No, in any jurisdiction. The award is not a qualifying law degree, confers no practice rights and carries no published recognition from the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the Bar Standards Board or CILEX. You cannot use it to describe yourself as a lawyer, solicitor or barrister, and it does not entitle you to carry out reserved legal activities. Where it earns its keep is in commercial roles that need legal understanding without a practising certificate: contracts, compliance, trade operations, in-house support. Anyone targeting practice should start with their own regulator's published route.

Qualifi's entry wording points at three groups: people holding a Level 6 qualification, people with work experience in the legal sector, and graduates from other disciplines who want to build a business career. Put together, the profile is someone already in commercial life — trade, shipping, finance, compliance, corporate administration — who keeps running into legal questions and wants to handle them properly. Since the connector between the three routes is "and/or", whether experience alone opens the door is a question only the centre can settle.

Your approved centre, on both counts. Qualifi's role stops at writing, regulating and certificating the qualification; it runs no classes and publishes no price. There is no official study-hours total for this award either, which removes the usual benchmark for judging whether a proposed schedule is realistic. Useful questions at enquiry: when the next cohort begins, how long previous groups have taken, and what the quoted figure includes once registration and certification are added.

Because this award assumes you are not starting from scratch on the basics, or that you do not need them for the work you do. The subject list goes directly to commercial and cross-border material: trade, trusts, intellectual property, financial crime, company law, with arbitration and governance as published options. The general foundations of English law — contract, tort, criminal, land, equity — belong to the separate Level 7 Diploma in Law, which is designed for non-law graduates wanting that grounding. If you want the foundations, that is the one to read.
