Progress in society depends on innovation of processes and products. But how does law react to such innovation processes and products such as data-driven challenges in artificial intelligence, internet of things, autonomous vehicles? Our LLM programme in Technology Law and Innovation focuses on the interaction between technology law and innovation. It explores the role of technology law as an enabler of innovation and reflects on examples where law hinders innovation.

The Law and Technology LLM fosters critical questioning of technological and scientific change, specifically in relation to law. The course also engages with political, social, and ethical questions relating to how law captures and makes use of changes in technology and scientific knowledge. The relationship between law and technology, and the associated ethical questions that emerge within this field, is dynamic, so this course aims to provide you with a space to evaluate current challenges and consider potential regulatory responses.

The future of the law is digital. This innovative LLM offers you a critical and intellectual specialisation in this rapidly developing area. You’ll learn from today’s leading lawyers, and our research underpins our teaching. You’ll explore the issues responsible for placing the legal system at the forefront of governance of the internet. You’ll also gain theoretical and practical insights, enabling you to master the intertwined areas of information technology and intellectual property law.
