The Emerging Technologies and the Law LLM focuses on the interactions between economics, politics and society in regulating complex new technological problems.

It raises questions such as: - Is your meme copyright protected? - Where, how, and why should Meta be taxed? - Will AI decision-making change legal processes? - What happens when Twitter and the European Commission discuss social media content? - Can science fiction teach us about regulation? This Law programme is open to graduates from any discipline. We welcome students with an interest in the regulation of complex real-world problems that are the result of technological innovations. This course is for you if you not only care what the law is, but what it could be. Our subject experts will provide you with extensive knowledge. You will gain critical and transferrable skills required by employers in both the public and private sector. This LLM is also suitable for applicants with an interest in further study. You will develop the skills necessary for the development of a PhD proposal on law and technology-related subjects.
