Master of Science in Law, Artificial Intelligence and New Technologies

Program Overview

From cyber-security protection and regulatory compliance to core data asset rights and the long-term management of technology systems, the list of challenges posed by new and emerging technologies is expanding as rapidly as the technology itself.

Our MSc/LLM in Law, Artificial Intelligence and New Technologies offers the chance to gain a deeper, more systematic understanding of the problems that can arise when businesses and organisations attempt to harness the full power of new technology.

You'll explore issues such as data privacy law, AI and robotics regulation, as well as the underlying principles and concepts of Internet technologies, web-based applications and enterprise and data analytics systems.

Whether you come from a background in law, have an interest in technology or already work for a tech company or a business processing data, it will prepare you to provide appropriate guidance and solutions to successfully manage risks.

Combining the academic expertise of two of Keele's academic Schools, the course provides a unique opportunity to engage with academics who are carrying out internationally recognised research in areas of the law and ethics, AI and big data. Keele School of Law is an internationally recognised centre for cutting-edge, socially relevant legal research, while the School of Computer Science and Mathematics was recently one of only 18 universities chosen as part of a £13m Office for Students initiative to boost the number and diversity of AI and data science graduates.

One of the key advantages of this course is its flexibility, allowing you to personalise your degree to reflect your professional needs and intellectual preferences. You can combine core modules with your choice from a wide range of optional modules offered within both Schools and other faculties. For example, you can study a modern language or focus on subject-specific matter, such as international economic law, transnational commercial law, or the Internet of Things.

Career prospects

Recent legal developments, such as the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the importance of compliance worldwide for transnational data transfers, means that data privacy law and emerging technologies issues are now a primary concern for businesses, public bodies and NGOs alike. As a result, there is a significant demand for people with high-level expertise in these areas.

The knowledge gained through this programme will place you in a unique position to access careers in law firms, local and national government bodies, law enforcement and justice agencies, think tanks, and tech companies. You could find roles as a Data Protection Officer (DPO) or advisor on new technologies governance and best practice models with significant chances of employment in the national, European and international marketplace.

By developing your ability to undertake critical analysis, problem solve and present rational, coherent and accurate arguments orally and in writing, you’ll graduate with essential skills valued by legal and non-legal employers alike.

It will also equip you with research skills in both Law and Computer Science, providing a strong foundation for pursuing further study at doctoral level for those interested in doing so. You could easily then move into a teaching career within secondary, further or higher education.
