LL. M. in IP / ICT Law
Student testimonials
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.

I felt the need to gain a better understanding of the regulations and legal issues in the field of ICT and Media Law, as the IP practice I had been working in for two years had evolved more and more towards ICT law.
The Postgraduate Studies in ICT and Media Law at the KUL allowed me to become more familiar with certain of the more complex topics in these rapidly evolving domains.
Not only the purely legal modules, but also the technical courses lectured by specialists gave me fundamental insights, which have already proven their use in practice.
The courses are structured in such a way that there is a good balance between the theory and the practical application thereof.
The visiting lecturers, professors and researchers at ICRI are very approachable.
The flexibility that is possible is much appreciated, especially when combining the Postgraduate Studies with a full-time job.

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.
