LLM Competition Law and the Digital Economy
Gain a robust and up-to-date understanding of the functioning of competition in digital markets, and its regulation.
Innovative Masters
This innovative programme has been designed to help you develop your knowledge and understanding of competition law, with a focus on the digital economy. It will also introduce you to the new regulatory framework of emerging digital competition law and policy.
As digital markets rapidly expand, they are shaped by a number of major players that have become some of the biggest and most influential organisations in the world. These Big Tech firms have been able to shape online behaviour and, until recently, regulators have not always been equipped to meet this rapidly expanding area. This programme will enable you to gain substantial knowledge about the latest developments in the regulation of competition in digital markets.
