Master of Law in Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law

The tensions between rewarding intellectual development, on the one hand, and incentivising further developments, on the other, are most acute in the context of technological advance. And such issues arise in the context of information technology law more generally, where the rapid emergence of new technologies raises questions of how, if at all, the law should respond to, regulate, and promote such developments.Intellectual Property and Information Technology have become significant and growing areas of law at both a European and an international level. With this in mind, the Law School recently introduced a new LL.M. in Intellectual Property and Information Technology law. This Masters programme seeks to promote critical analysis of, and reflection on, different aspects of national, European and international intellectual property and information technology law.

Applications are invited from well-qualified graduates who hold a very good Honours Bachelor degree in law or in a law-based interdisciplinary programme. Applications may also be considered from exceptional graduates in disciplines relevant to the LL.M degree they are applying for where: a substantial component of their undergraduate degree(s) is in Law; or applicants have significant professional experience in Law.
