Law, Technology & Innovation (Taught)

Developed through discussions with a range of international stakeholders, this programme is understood to be globally unique in teaching technological skills, technology law, innovation and leadership. It does not require prior knowledge of coding or law. Graduates will have the opportunity to build their own technological projects while gaining an understanding of the law that regulates the design, development and distribution of technology internationally.

You will explore legal issues related to innovation and leadership in the context of shifts toward automated decision-making and algorithmic regulation driven by AI, machine learning, big data and other advances in computing power. There will be opportunities to learn coding languages and gain a better understanding of algorithmic bias.

Modules are delivered by an expert team of academics actively researching the field of technology law. Teaching will also be supported by eminent visiting academics who are major names in their field.

Students will have the opportunity to apply to:

undertake placement or consultancy projects to develop their skills through more advanced coding projects, or
explore a technology law issue in detail through a dissertation or enhanced research proposal
