Law - Law, Innovation and Technology LLM

The LLM in Law, Innovation and Technology offers a distinct opportunity to master the legal expertise to address real-world challenges related to technology development and innovation. <br/><br/>You will study information technology (IT) law that will introduce you to key issues and debates in this field and that will equip you with the legal and technical knowledge to analyse and evaluate the legal and regulatory challenges of digital technologies in an informed way. <br/><br/>In addition to IT law, you will have the opportunity to select from a range of specialist units focused on topics such as intellectual property law, privacy and data protection law, regulation of digital markets and competition, and digital technology in legal practice. All of these units have been carefully designed to reflect insights from the Law School’s own LawTech Industry Board (a body of top industry experts working in the field who assist us in developing and delivering this LLM programme). <br/><br/>Located in the UK’s ‘Silicon Gorge’, Bristol is recognised as ‘the most innovative city outside of London’ (Invest Bristol + Bath 2021).
