Ulster University’s Legal Innovation Centre has launched a masters course which straddles both a Masters in Law (LLM) and a Masters of Science (MSc) to address the growing adoption of technology by law firms. The new programme is called "LLM/MSc Corporate Law, Computing and Innovation" and has been created in partnership with legal and tech leaders in Northern Ireland. This novel course, based at the Belfast Campus, is designed as 50% computer science and 50% corporate, financial and tech law, with the Schools of Law and Computing, Engineering and Intelligent Systems collaborating under one umbrella, for the first time. This allows for the development of a truly multidisciplinary graduate: a tech-savvy lawyer or a computer science graduate who has a unique appreciation of legal and financial services.
