Technology, Media and Telecommunications Law LLM

This LLM gives you the opportunity to analyse how technology, media and telecommunications law has affected the application of traditional legal principles. Examine the complex issues, precedence and developments of law and policy and learn how to apply this knowledge to current events and cases.

The importance of technology, the media and telecommunications in modern society has grown exponentially in recent times. The Technology, Media and Telecommunications Law LLM explores the legal regimes governing the supply and use of computer and communications technology and those governing key aspects of the media.

Through the examination of national law, international law and policy, you will learn to analyse complex legal issues arising from technology, media and telecommunications and examine how the developments in these areas have affected the application of traditional legal principles.

You will critically evaluate the regulation of all key forms of media content and the channels via which that content is delivered, including traditional, new and still-developing media.

The School of Law offers a selection of elective modules, enabling you to gear your qualification to your desired career trajectory. You will also have voluntary access to an excellent series of lectures in Critical Thinking and Writing in Law to help you to improve your writing and research in law skills. Please note that not all modules will be available in any one year.
