LLM Data Protection and Intellectual Property

The LLM Data Protection and Intellectual Property will provide you with the opportunity to explore issues surrounding data protection and intellectual property.

When you study the LLM Data Protection and Intellectual Property with us you will:

• Be taught by subject matter experts, former and current practitioners and research and teaching focused academics
• Focus on legal practice, not just theory
• Benefit from strategic partnerships with firms, regulators and accreditation bodies
• Learn about Legal Technology by selecting to study modules in legal technology
• Improve your employability by gaining important transferable skills and mapping your career with our careers team

In addition to a general induction to the programme, there is a two-week induction covering the Key Principles of the English Legal System. This is compulsory for non-law students, but also open to students wanting a refresher in the fundamentals of the law of England and Wales. This would be useful for any student who has taken a considerable break from legal education.

To help prepare you for your dissertation you’ll study a range of compulsory and further optional Research Methods Training sessions.

Please note that, due to Home Office regulations, students who require a Student Route visa to study with us are not permitted to study online and can only choose face-to-face taught modules.
