Student pictureTestimonial: Katarzyna Syska

"I greatly enjoyed the Postgraduate Studies in ICT & Media Law at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Law and ICT because of a unique – interdisciplinary – perspective on European ICT and media law that this program offered. The classes were given by both academics and professionals, lawyers and non-lawyers – all of them specialists in their respective fields – thanks to which the issues discussed were presented thoroughly and from different points of view. Furthermore, the ICRI staff and other lecturers were always very friendly and helpful, which made attending the classes a pleasure.

To me, one of the greatest advantages of the program was an internship in an international law firm, where I had a chance to apply the theoretical knowledge gained during the courses in practice.

The program also provided an excellent opportunity to meet other people who are keen on ICT and media law, both fellow students and lecturers, and to exchange experiences with them.

LL.M. in IP / ICT Law (2012-2013)

Structure overview

From the academic year 2012-2013 onwards the former Postgraduate Studies in ICT & Media Law programme will be offered as a specialised track within the Advanced Master in Intellectual Property Rights ("Master-na-Master in de Intellectuele Rechten") of the HUB.

This programme provides an in-depth study of European ICT, IP and Media Law. The ICT and media sector is a rapidly evolving and highly complex sector, influenced by technological, economic and sociological developments. In this sector, existing legal frameworks are continuously challenged, traditional legal concepts and principles need to be reinterpreted and an insight into other – connected – disciplines is vital to function at a high level. The programme intends to address the increasing demand for qualified legal practitioners in the ICT and media sector. To achieve this objective students will be offered a comprehensive study of European IP law, IT law and media and communications law, with a specific focus on relevant interdisciplinary perspectives (technology; economy; socio-political, cultural and media studies), and a number of practical skills that are of particular importance in this sector. The programme is aimed at national and international graduate as well as professional students. It is also possible to combine the English courses with the Dutch and/or French courses from the Advanced Master in Intellectual Property Rights.
