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.

Why study ICT, IP & Media Law?

ICT and media are rapidly evolving and highly complex sectors, influenced by technological, economic and sociological developments. Existing legal frameworks are continuously challenged, and traditional legal concepts and principles permanently need to be reinterpreted. Next to knowledge of the law, insight into other - connected - disciplines is vital to function at a high level in these sectors and there is an increasing demand for qualified legal practitioners, both in the private and in the public sector, who understand the specificities of ICT and media.
