Study the legal implications surrounding Information Technology and Telecommunications on the world's longest established postgraduate masters (LLM) course in Internet Law and Policy.
Provided at the University of Strathclyde since 1991 on a full or part-time attendance basis, and by online distance learning since 1994, the LLM and Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) in Internet Law and Policy (formerly Information Technology and Telecommunications Law) is an internationally renowned postgraduate qualification which currently attracts over 100 students from 20 countries.
As the international nature of the student body demonstrates, Internet Law and Policy is of wide interest and significant importance. The master’s degree in Internet Law and Policy encourages students to consider legal initiatives both at European and International levels as well as within their own jurisdictions.
Students examine a diverse range of key themes including information security, privacy, intellectual property, telecommunications, e-commerce, internet governance and access to public information. These may be undertaken by attendance at The Law School on the University of Strathclyde’s campus, or by internet based distance learning.
There are 3 potential exit points from the course, certificate, diploma and masters. Assuming satisfactory performance, it is possible to change between these so that, for example, a student who initially registers for the certificate may opt to continue studying to the diploma or masters qualification. Likewise, a student originally registered for the masters may be transferred to the certificate or diploma stream.
Full-time LLM and PgDip students are required to complete six modules from those listed – three modules per semester. For those candidates seeking the award of LLM in Internet Law and Policy, a 15, 000 word dissertation on a topic of your own choice is required. Distance learning students are also required to complete six modules, taking two modules in semester one and one module in semester two. A flexible three-module Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) is also available.
Teaching takes place over two eleven/twelve week semesters. Semester one runs from October - December and semester two from January - May. Course assignments are submitted during January and May. The period from June to September, especially in year two, is utilised for preparation of the dissertation.
