Our MSc/LLM in Law, Artificial Intelligence and New Technologies offers the chance to gain a deeper, more systematic understanding of the problems that can arise when businesses and organisations attempt to harness the full power of new technology.

You'll explore issues such as data privacy law, AI and robotics regulation, as well as the underlying principles and concepts of Internet technologies, web-based applications and enterprise and data analytics systems.

Whether you come from a background in law, have an interest in technology or already work for a tech company or a business processing data, it will prepare you to provide appropriate guidance and solutions to successfully manage risks.

Combining the expertise of two of Keele's academic Schools, the course provides a unique opportunity to engage with academics who are carrying out internationally recognised research in areas of the law and ethics, AI and big data. Keele School of Law is an internationally recognised centre for cutting-edge, socially relevant legal research, while the School of Computer Science and Mathematics was previously one of only 18 universities chosen as part of a 13m Office for Students initiative to boost the number and diversity of AI and data science graduates.

One of the key advantages of this course is its flexibility, allowing you to personalise your degree to reflect your professional needs and intellectual preferences. You can combine core modules with your choice from a wide range of optional modules offered within both Schools and other faculties. For example, you may focus on subject-specific matter, such as international economic law, transnational commercial law, or the Internet of Things.

You also have considerable freedom when choosing the topic of your master's level dissertation, addressing a legal or technological problem regarding new technologies, that may be co-supervised by academic staff from both Schools.

You'll graduate with the advanced knowledge and skills to access careers in law firms and tech companies, perhaps as data protection officers or advisors on new technologies, governance in the national, European and international marketplaces.
