LLM in Computer and Communications Law (Distance Learning) – (LL.M.)

The Institute of Computer and Communications Law (ICCL) offers a programme of online distance learning courses that leads to the award of a Queen Mary, University of London, Postgraduate Diploma in Computer and Communications Law.

Your degree certificate will make no distinction between the Postgraduate Diploma studied by presence in London and the Postgraduate Diploma studied by distance learning.

The Diploma in Computer and Communications Law programme draws on the established strengths of Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) in computer, e-commerce, internet, communications law, media law and associated topics.

Law as a subject is particularly suitable for online learning in that it is primarily text-based, so delivery of teaching materials is not restricted by bandwidth limitations. Almost all relevant materials for Computer and Communications Law are recent in origin and available in digital format from databases such as Lexis and Westlaw to which you gain access through your Queen Mary Student account. We use the Blackboard teaching platform (virtual learning environment) to deliver clear course structures, teaching materials and to create interactive courses. Your e-learning experience is enhanced by tutorials using Blackboard discussion boards, blog postings and live chat for class discussions and question and answer sessions. We have designed the courses to allow for as much interaction and feedback between students and tutors as possible. Your understanding will be deepened by discussing your reading with fellow student and your course tutor and carrying out short tasks related to the course. We will also make use of some audio and audio-visual presentations. You will not be required to have access to a local law library, a basic internet connection and browser is all that is needed to do the course.
