The Program

Due to the increasing importance of digitalization in almost every profession, new juridical problems have emerged which cannot be dealt with sufficiently by the basic juridical education. The master program Digitalization and Law aims at managing the growing amount of legal issues by enabling a detailed specialization on the basis of a basic juridical education. The LL.M. Digitalization and Law is an interdisciplinary program: it covers the field of ethics, technology and informatics.

The master program is aimed at all professionals working in the field of information technology and welcomes international students. The LL.M. also addresses graduates of non-law degree programs, provided that their studies included at least basic legal knowledge. In addition, the course is directed at lawyers who wish to obtain a certificate of specialization in IT Law (Fachanwalt IT-Recht, § 14k FAO).

After a successful completion of the program, the University of Würzburg awards graduates the academic degree of "Master of Laws" (LL.M.) and a certificate of specialization in IT Law (Fachanwalt IT-Recht, § 14k FAO).

The program always begins in the winter term. All courses are taught in English and will be held by renowned professors and specialized lawyers on site in the historic city of Würzburg.

A previous IT background is not required, the necessary technical knowledge will be imparted in the courses.
