The LL.M. course in IT law and intellectual property law is a one-year postgraduate course within the European Legal Informatics Study Programme (EULISP) leading to the academic degree of Master of Laws (LL.M.).A special feature of IT law is that it is concerned with a globally almost uniform development in information technology, is primarily cross-border by nature, and has a lasting influence on national legal systems in all EU member states due to progressive harmonisation at the EU level.
