Student pictureTestimonial: Martins Birks

"I was very pleased with the Postgraduate studies in ICT & Media Law programme because of the in-depth field perspective it provided. The programme incorporated theoretical knowledge, legal precedent analysis, and allowed for theory application in real-life scenarios and in-class exercises. I found the combined teaching method to be very worthwhile in order to understand how to apply the learned knowledge within everyday legal practice.
The ICT & Media Law field is rather complicated, but the highly qualified teaching staff and senior professional experts take great care in ensuring that each student in the programme understand and is able to incorporate into their own work the specific discipline.
I would certainly recommend, to anyone interested in the ICT & Media Law field, to supplement their existing knowledge within the scope of this high quality and worthwhile programme.
