Master of Law in Data Protection and Intellectual Property

Program Overview

LLM Data Protection and Intellectual Property

The digitisation of information has brought about a multitude of data harvesting and processing technologies operating on a global scale. Information processing has become essential not just to finance and commerce, but also to advances in public health, education, crime prevention and economic growth. Yet, many of these benefits require significant compromises of privacy and informational autonomy. On this course you will explore non-personal data laws (confidentiality and database laws); cybersecurity; the tort of privacy; electronic signatures and electronic contracting; trademarks and domain names; e-commerce regulation; and the audio-visual media services directive.
