This combined degree program provides you with an excellent foundation in both law and IT. You will be well equipped to tackle legal issues in the growing field of technology such as privacy, data collection, copyright, censorship, contracts, patents and understand the challenges of working in international markets.
IT professionals can benefit greatly from a working knowledge of law when dealing with contracts, patents, share holders or working in international markets. Bridging the gap between these two domains will be vital in the future, and graduates from this combined degree will be highly sought after in both professions.
