Course summary
The LLM course at Derby combines academic and theoretical knowledge, helping you develop an understanding of the interaction between law and policy at an international level, enabling contributions to organisations and commercial enterprises operating across the global policy arena. The LLM (Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law) pathway prepares you for a career in intellectual property and IT law, providing theoretical and practical knowledge in copyright, trademarks, patents, law of confidence and trade secrets, IT contract and licensing, computer law and policy, and internet law and policy. As a Derby LLM graduate, you will be highly sought after by employers due to your specialised knowledge, evidenced by your final dissertation, giving you a competitive advantage in positions within and beyond the legal sector.

The specialist LLM pathways open doors to careers in corporate and financial legal roles, legal practice, intellectual property or IT law research, human rights, and positions with criminal justice agencies, government bodies, or NGOs overseas. For those already employed, the LLM allows you to combine modules to create a programme aligned with your vocation and career aspirations, providing the flexibility and skills needed to adapt to evolving professional roles and employer requirements.
