Overview
What are the legal implications and challenges raised by the development of post-industrialism and of the digital economy?
This short course, Law of the Digital Economy, addresses the law and the regulation of economic transactions taking place in the digital world. We analyse and critically assess the laws which allow for the functioning of digital markets as well as the rules that are meant to protect real-life individuals engaging in market transactions.
This postgraduate-level course gives you the opportunity to consider both the impact of the law on the digital economy, and the impact of digital economy on the law. It is ideal if you have a professional or personal interest in the field of law. You will also find it of particular interest if you wish to enhance your career through Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in this area.
This course is assessed by a 4000-word summative essay (95%) and online participation in group work and discussion (5%).
