Overview

On the Intellectual Property and Information Law with Work Experience programme from University of Hertfordshire you’ll have a Pathway Specific module, which only students on your pathway may study along with two optional modules of your choice.

Key facts

You’ll examine development of both Intellectual Property Law and Information Technology Law as distinct areas of legal practice and consider their ongoing reform and development, particularly in light of continuing technological advancements.

The Intellectual Property Law module will consider current intellectual property framework from a national, European and International perspective, along with copyright, trademarks, and patents.

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. We recommend this module for students who wish to pursue careers as Information and Data Protection specialists.

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.
