Law and Technology LLM

How does the law govern technology, and how does technology shape the law? In this advanced master's programme, students will gain a deep appreciation of the complex relationship between law and technological innovation. From Generative Artificial Intelligence and autonomous vehicles to fintech, social media, and algorithmic decision-making, students will engage with some of the most pressing legal, societal, and cultural changes of our time. How should legal systems respond? And what does technological innovation mean for the future practice of law? Drawing on the School of Law’s substantial profile in technology, e-governance, intellectual property and innovation, students on the programme have the opportunity to develop specialist expertise in law, governance and the ‘fourth industrial revolution.’ The programme places employability skills at its heart. Employers are very interested in law graduates who are tech-savvy and are clear and comfortable communicators, whether with clients or more generally. Guest contributors from major firms co-create our curriculum and are active in introducing LawTech applications in our teaching. We embed skills-development directly into the curriculum as such, through project-based learning work, computational skills and elsewhere.
