Overview

The Intellectual Property and Information Law with Placement Year programme from University of Hertfordshire will also consider current intellectual property framework from a national, European and international perspective, along with copyright, trademarks, and patents.

Key facts

The Information Technology Law module will also include topics such as E-commerce, intermediary liability, cybercrime and the increasing rise of artificial intelligence.

Many students within this specialism choose to study Data Protection Law as one of their optional modules and we would recommend this for students.

You’ll study two modules during Semester A and two modules in Semester B. Each module will be taught through a two-hour Seminar each week together with a rich blend of online activities.

Join a Research Methods and Skills seminar every fortnight in your first semester of study to help you develop your academic writing and research skills required for your module coursework and Dissertation.

Careers

Explore private and public sector, consultancy work or even an academic or a research career. You may wish to specialise in a particular role in Information management, E-Commerce, privacy, data and related compliance roles or use your Intellectual Property knowledge within a business or commercial role.

Students with ideas for a new business, or wishing to grow an existing business, can access the support and networks of our University’s Enterprise Team.
