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 program, popular with both EU and non-EU students, provides graduates with a knowledge base and a range of core tools to use in their future research or in their practice as intellectual property and information technology lawyers.

The LL.M. (Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law) is delivered over one academic year. It seeks to promote critical analysis of, and reflection on, different aspects of national, European and international intellectual property and information technology law.  Students on this program are examined in six modules and will also complete a research dissertation on a topic approved by the Dissertation Director and related to Intellectual Property and/or Information Technology law.

The modules offered on this program cover both the substantive and practical elements of Intellectual Property and Information Technology law within a European and international context. Module offerings may include Data Protection, Cyber Security Law, Copyright Law, Trademark and Design Law, Patent Law and much more.  Students may also choose up to two modules from the wide array offered on the LLM (General) ranging from Aviation Law, to Human Rights Law and Islamic Law.
