Master of Legal Science (60 credits) in Law and Information Technology, 60 hp

The Master’s programme in Law and Information Technology offers law graduates the opportunity to develop their proficiency in the combined fields of law and information technology. The courses included in the programme consist of seminars, classes, practical assignments and study visits to law firms, companies and authorities specializing in the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and law. Students are also required to complete two essays on a topic of their choice. Some activities also take place in the computer laboratories of the Department of Law. The aim of the courses included in the programme is to enable students to develop the skills necessary for their future work as legal practitioners or researchers in their chosen fields. This is achieved by teaching students numerous ways in which to identify problems and generate solutions. Issues of a practical nature are therefore interwoven with a scholastic approach to legal problems, and with practical exercises, using various legal IT tools. This approach requires active participation on the part of students, for example, by completing various IT related tasks and submitting papers.
