Master Droit Du Numerique

The Master Droit du Numérique at Avignon Université, in Avignon, France, is a two-year graduate program in digital and technology law. This field addresses the legal issues raised by digital technologies, covering areas such as data protection and privacy regulation, intellectual property in software and digital content, e-commerce law, cybersecurity liability, and the regulation of online platforms. Students typically study the European framework for personal data protection, contract law as applied to digital services and software licensing, the legal treatment of algorithms and artificial intelligence, and issues around digital evidence and electronic signatures. Coursework often includes case studies on platform liability, content moderation, and the tension between innovation and consumer protection in fast-changing technology markets. Because digital law draws on multiple legal traditions, programs in this area typically combine core subjects from intellectual property, contract, and administrative law with a focus on how these frameworks apply specifically to digital products and services. Graduates commonly pursue careers as data protection officers, legal advisors to technology companies, intellectual property specialists, compliance officers handling digital regulation, or consultants advising businesses on their obligations under data protection and e-commerce law. Some move into roles with regulatory authorities overseeing digital markets or telecommunications. Instruction for this program is delivered in French. The master's is structured over two years, with enrollment expected to begin in September, following the standard academic calendar for French universities. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR, the typical rate applied to state-recognized master's degrees at public institutions in France.
