The LLM Governance and Law in Digital Society combines the distinctive disciplines Law and Public Administration in order to study consequences of IT (including privacy, safety and security).

Recent advances in digitalisation have resulted in an increasing number of parties becoming involved in privacy and security issues. But how should we approach obstacles and issues brought about by digitalization? Governance and Law in Digital Society offers an integrated programme to study the challenges and opportunities faced in a digital society, combining key themes of governance, law, and security.

Which approaches do governments have to address continuously evolving issues concerning digitalisation? Do governments take advantage of digitalisation in their governance structures? Which ethical problems arrive from the fight against cybercrime? And which different types of accountability arise as a consequence of illicit acts committed in cyberspace? This all are questions that are addressed during this master.

This master combines theoretical knowledge and practical insights. You will become familiar with problems the public sector faces through discussions about present-day topics, practical assignments during the seminar, guest lectures and foremost an internship.
