Course Summary

**Why choose this course** Our LLB in Law (Law and Technology Pathway) combines legal training with an exploration of the role of law in responding to and shaping technological innovation. The Pathway includes all the core subjects currently required for a qualifying law degree, while giving you the opportunity to specialise in law and technology, and gain digital lawyering skills that are critical to the changing global economy and workplace. We are at an industry turning point, both in terms of the use of technology in the business and practice of law, as well as the growing importance of legal questions and challenges related to the rapid pace of technological change. Employers are increasingly seeking out professionals who are well versed in technology and the law to be employable in a competitive and evolving legal market. This course is designed to give you the competitive edge. We are ranked in the top 20 for law in the UK by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021 and 15th for employability in law in the Guardian University Guide 2021. **What you will study** Our Law and Technology Pathway will enable you to understand rapidly changing technological developments and market conditions around the world, while drawing on your legal knowledge and analytical skills to solve complex problems. You’ll gain a deep understanding of the main areas of legal knowledge, including law as it regulates the functions of the state (public law and criminal law), regulates relations between private individuals (contract law and tort law), and regulates the ownership and control of land and other property (land law, and equity and trusts). In addition to these core subjects, after the first year you will immerse yourself in the ways that technology is shaping and improving the practice of law, and how the law must evolve to keep pace with technological change. You will learn how to evaluate the law, analyse its application in given situations and apply your legal understanding in a national or international context. We also provide a series of employability training seminars, digital lawyering and pro bono opportunities and extracurricular activities focusing on client interviewing, negotiation and mooting.

Academic year structure: The Law and Technology Pathway contains the same compulsory modules as the LLB in Law (Public, Tort, Crime, Contract, EU, Land, Equity and Trusts). To complete the requirements of the Law and Technology Pathway, you must complete a sufficient number of optional modules from the specified list of Law and Technology modules (equal to at least 90 credits or six modules). Upon completion of the Pathway, you will receive a recognised LLB degree that also signals your law and technology specialism to prospective employers. An indicative list of modules that count towards the minimum of 90 credits required for the Law and Technology Pathway (subject to change) are: • Financial Regulation and FinTech Policy (15 Credits) • Intellectual Property Law (15 credits) • Law & Technology Clinic (15 Credits) • Access to Justice (15 Credits) • Cybercrime (15 Credits) • Ethics and Regulation of AI (15 Credits) • Medical Law I (15 Credits) • Medical Law II (15 Credits) • Environment Law (15 Credits) • Employment Law (15 Credits) • Dissertation in Law & Technology Topics (30 credits). Expected progression through the Law and Technology Pathway: In Year 1, you will take eight compulsory 15 credit modules just as any other LLB student. In Year 2, you will take three core compulsory modules and one optional module in each semester. The options include several approved modules counting toward the Pathway. You may then decide to gain work experience through our award-winning Professional Training placement programme, or alternatively progress straight to final year. In your final year, you will take four optional modules each semester, which again include a number of options from the list of approved modules.
