Technology Law

If you want to develop your skills in technology law, this programme is for you. You will learn along with emerging regulations, resilience skills, ethics, CSR and ESG considerations. You will not only be well-versed in the law but also equipped to navigate the ethical and social responsibilities that come with the integration of technology into organisations' practices. As a technology law student, you must be very independent and be able to develop and research. Therefore, you are expected to have an active and curious attitude as well as readiness to schedule your studies and commit yourself to completing them.  The mandatory core competencies (30 ECTS) will all be available completely online, provided by Laurea teachers and will be in English. The courses focus on international technology contract law and negotiation skills, legal issues related to the commercialization of high technology, intellectual property rights and their strategic role in technology companies and other innovative organizations, privacy, cyber resilience, data ownership, and their growing significance as organizational assets within the framework of a fair data economy, legal and ethical considerations in the utilization of artificial intelligence, consumer, and marketing law, especially in digital consumer marketing; and utilization and development of legal tech tools. Details and curriculum are available on the Laurea website.This is an online programme with English as the teaching language. Therefore, you may also enroll in the degree programme if you are living abroad.  In online studies, the entire program can be completed online. Online learning requires self-direction, group and networking skills, and the ability to schedule studies to fit one's life. Some of the teaching is scheduled, involving lectures and interactive teaching online. Some of the studies can be completed independently according to your own schedule during the study unit. Online learning is full-time, so sufficient time must be allocated for studies. The studies also include internships, which, if possible, take place in the student's hometown or nearby areas. The internships are full-time and requires attendance. The degree takes on average 1.5–2.5 years to complete. In line with the international ECTS standard, one credit corresponds to 26.7 hours of work for an average student.  The online learning environments support your learning. The study method varies depending on the course. Part of the degree programme involves fully independent study, such as essay writing or working on structured online exercises under the teacher’s guidance, but online meetings and group assignments are also included.
