Information and Communication Technology Law (master's 1 1/2-years)

The principal aim of this Master of Laws programme is to impart understanding of the central legal issues that arise as a result of developments in the use of ICT. In very general terms, such issues concern the ways in which ICT affects the application of existing law, and existing law affects the use of ICT, and the manner in which ICT functions as a regulatory mechanism in itself.

The LL.M. degree in ICT Law gives you strong qualifications in international law. The knowledge acquired during the Master of Laws programme will be useful for careers in law firms, public administration, academia, or ICT businesses.

Graduates of the LL.M. programme have gone on to pursue careers in a large variety of contexts. Some have used the LL.M. programme as a springboard to doctoral study and an academic career. Some have gained senior positions in the public sector, where they are engaged in the development and oversight of government regulatory policy. Others have entered the private sector, typically working in law firms or in the legal departments of corporations.

Our former students work for the following organizations (during their study and/or after completion of their study): Opera Software, Vodafone, The Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board, Telenor.

Students admitted to the 5-year degree Master i rettsvitenskap, University of Oslo, are allowed to transfer credits from the LL.M. degree in ICTLaw into their 5th year of study, and obtain two separate degrees from University of Oslo, Faculty of Law.
