Study Details: LLM 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time
With rapid advances in technology and daily leaps in scientific understanding of the issues that impact our everyday lives, society is changing at an unprecedented rate. Law, too, is impacted by and confronts technological and scientific change, both in relation to changes in professional practice and the sort of knowledge and matters that come to be regulated and legislated for. We have designed a course that will help you develop your knowledge of key legal issues relating to technological and scientific development.
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. This LLM will equip you with the key analytical and research skills that can be harnessed within the profession and beyond.
A minimum of a lower second class honours degree (2:2) in a related discipline including law, social science, international relations. Applicants without the standard qualifications but with significant professional experience in the relevant field or related professional qualifications may be considered.
If your first language is not English, you should have an IELTS 6.5 with at least 6.5 in writing and no element below 6.0.
