This unique degree programme explores how the law responds to, regulates and promotes new and emerging technologies.

The programme promotes advanced knowledge and understanding of the relationship between law, technology, commerce and society in the widest possible sense.

This programme provides an in-depth study of the relationship between law, technology, commerce and society in the widest possible sense. It explores the role of the law in responding to, regulating and promoting new and emerging technologies, and also emphasises the role of technology in supporting and guiding legal and judicial processes.

The programme covers intellectual property law, information technology law and medical law and the flexible structure of the programme provides the opportunity to explore a wide range of interests, or select modules to focus on a particular field in greater depth.

The innovative potential of technology to support legal and judicial processes will also be covered. This programme will therefore enable you to develop an advanced knowledge of domains where law engages with technology, and a sophisticated awareness of problems and differing solutions in the area.

The focus of the degree is on the international nature of the subject matter and each module offers a comparative analysis of current legal developments.
