This LLM program explores the intricate relationship between Intellectual Property (covering copyrights, patents, and trademarks) and E-Law (encompassing internet governance, digital commerce, and cybercrime). You'll examine emerging challenges related to social media platforms, copyright in music and video content, digital contract laws, and privacy regulations.
The LLM (Intellectual Property and E-Law) also offers a Postgraduate Diploma pathway. Candidates can complete 60 credits from the LLM's module selection, with flexible study options of 9 months full-time or 18 months part-time.
This condensed program suits legal practitioners and professionals seeking qualifications without committing to a full master's degree initially. Diploma graduates can advance to the LLM by submitting a 12,500-word research dissertation.
To be accepted on this course you must be approved by the School of Law and must normally:
(a) hold a law degree with Second Class Honours Grade I (NFQ, Level 8); or

If you are an overseas candidate you are welcome to apply, and your qualifications will be considered on a case-by-case basis as above.
