The LLM in Law, Innovation and Technology offers a distinct opportunity to master the legal expertise to address real-world challenges related to technology development and innovation. 



You will study information technology (IT) law that will introduce you to key issues and debates in this field and that will equip you with the legal and technical knowledge to analyse and evaluate the legal and regulatory challenges of digital technologies in an informed way.  



In addition to IT law, you will have the opportunity to select from a range of specialist units focused on topics such as intellectual property law, privacy and data protection law, regulation of digital markets and competition, and digital technology in legal practice. All of these units have been carefully designed to reflect insights from the Law School’s own LawTech Industry Board (a body of top industry experts working in the field who assist us in developing and delivering this LLM programme). 



Located in the UK’s ‘Silicon Gorge’, Bristol is recognised as ‘the most innovative city outside of London’ (Invest Bristol + Bath 2021). The University's focus on digital technology includes hosting Isambard-AI, the UK’s most powerful supercomputer. 



Ideal for careers in commercial law, tech innovation, data economy, digital markets, and online business development, this programme develops crucial analytical, communication, and research skills valued by top employers. Our programmes are well respected by leading law firms, with Bristol ranking in the top 10 in the UK for employer reputation, for law and legal studies (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024).



Choosing a postgraduate law degree from the University of Bristol – ranked third in the UK for legal research excellence (THE analysis of REF 2021) – means engaging in a rigorous, research-rich curriculum that will make you stand out to employers. You will be challenged and inspired by our world-leading academics who are part of the Law School’s Centre for Global Law and Innovation
