Careers after the Master of Science, MSc Business Law

The MSc in business law, responsible business conduct (RBC) & compliance prepares students for a range of emerging roles in the dynamic fields of regulatory compliance and legal oversight. Graduates will be well-equipped to take on responsibilities in positions such as regulatory compliance expert, in-house legal officer, and legal compliance specialist. These roles are critical for multinational companies, financial institutions, accounting firms, and international organisations navigating complex regulatory frameworks.

Students will be trained to stay ahead of regulatory developments, such as export control regulations, privacy laws, anti-corruption measures, and sustainability guidelines. As regulatory compliance experts, they will monitor changes in the regulatory landscape, assessing their potential impact on company operations, and offering strategic guidance on compliance programmes.

Graduates will also be able to design and implement comprehensive compliance programmes, policies, and procedures, focusing on areas like artificial intelligence, export controls, and global privacy requirements. They will be prepared to conduct audits, risk assessments, and compliance checks, providing senior management with detailed reports on compliance activities and recommendations to close any compliance gaps.

A key feature of this programme is its emphasis on collaboration, ensuring graduates have the skills to work across functions within organisations. As part of their role, students will learn how to lead training and awareness initiatives, nurturing a compliance-oriented culture across businesses.

They will play an integral role in ensuring legal alignment, reducing risk, and championing responsible business practices on a global scale.
