IT experts and lawyers are increasingly being confronted with the rapid developments taking place in digitalisation: from privacy and data protection, e-government and IT compliance to burning issues such as sustainability, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and cybercrime. There is a demand for specialists in these fields who can offer holistic solutions to information technology, legal and economic issues and problems. IT Law and Management is a cutting-edge degree programme situated right at this interface.<\/p>\n

The high proportion of e-learning makes it easy to combine your studies with work and family life. You are usually only required to attend in person one weekend per month, on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You will develop specialist knowledge in the areas of data protection and telecommunications protection, IT standards, intellectual property rights, AI law and product safety law. The focus is also on the challenges of digital and virtual working environments, cybercrime, social media law and IT contract drafting.<\/p>\n

Leadership<\/h4>\n

You will receive in-depth training for taking on leadership and management roles. You will delve deeper into the areas of strategy development and leadership, digital and hybrid business models, and entrepreneurship. Comprehensive skills acquisition in the areas of organisation, controlling, reporting and CSRD, as well as IT governance and quality and risk management, round off this specialisation.<\/p>\n

IT and Artificial Intelligence<\/h4>\n

The rapid development of business analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning is an important part of analysing business data and future corporate developments. The responsible, secure handling of sensitive data is essential in today’s digitally connected world. That is why these areas – as well as cybersecurity issues – are firmly anchored in the curriculum.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You will deepen your knowledge from the second semester onwards as part of a cumulative Master’s thesis. Students are given the opportunity to explore project ideas drawn from their own companies, or research and development topics from the degree programme. In doing so, students conduct interdisciplinary study at the interfaces between computer science, legal informatics, information law, IT management and AI and machine learning.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
