LLM Innovation, Technology & the Law
The programme aims to promote a high level of knowledge and understanding of the relationship between law, technology, commerce and society in the

It explores the role of the law in responding to, regulating and promoting new and emerging technologies, and also emphasises the role of technology in supporting and guiding legal and judicial processes. The programme covers intellectual property law, information technology law and medical law.
LLM Medical Law and Ethics
The programme takes students from the fundamental constitutive elements on medical law, being consent, confidentiality, negligence and human rights, through ethically and legally sensitive issues of abortion, fertility treatment, futile treatment and euthanasia, and onto to contemporary issues surrounding genetic testing, genomic medicine, access to new treatments, and resource allocation, and finally to international dimensions of the provision of health care and the control of threats to human health and safety from public health emergencies such as HIV/AIDS, SARS and avian flu.
LLM Intellectual Property Law
The programme aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of intellectual property law within international, European and domestic settings. The course covers comparative study of the laws of patents, copyright, trade marks, designs, database protection, breach of confidence, passing off and related sui generis rights, as well as investigating a range of issues which underpin contemporary intellectual property law.
LLM Information Technology Law
The programme encompasses regulatory approaches to information technology, jurisdiction, content liability, privacy and data protection, intellectual property, standards and competition, cybercrime, e-commerce, the digital divide, legal challenges in respect of new information and communications technologies (including the internet and virtual worlds), and using these technologies in investigation and dispute adjudication.
