How do governments influence effects of digitalisation, such as cybercrime and breaches of privacy? And how can governments make better use of benefits that digitalisation has to offer?
In the modern globalised world, privacy and security are two topics that do not lose their relevance. On the contrary, incidents demonstrate how they affect our daily life. This LLM programme discusses the need to protect the privacy of citizens online, the influence of the private sector and the effectiveness of law enforcement.Our students have a variety of backgrounds. What they have in common is that they are interested in studying how governments deal with challenges of digitalisation. They use their background knowledge of the legal frameworks and governance structures in order to develop this interest.Consequently, if you are a law student, in addition to your degree, you will need an understanding of governance theories and social research methods before you commence with the degree. If you do not have prior knowledge in this area, you can acquire it by following our online, premaster programme offered between February and May. A successful completion of this programme provides you with proven knowledge of these domains, making you eligible for this Master’s degree.If you have a social science background, it might be necessary to develop a greater understanding of the law before the star
