Overview

Competition Law and the Digital Economy LLM is an innovative pathway on the Master of Laws (LLM). The course will help you develop your knowledge and understanding of competition law with a focus on the digital economy. You’ll also learn about the new regulatory framework of emerging digital competition law and policy.

As digital markets rapidly expand, they are shaped by several major players. Some of these Big Tech firms have become the most influential organisations in the world. They have also been able to influence online behaviour. Until recently, regulators haven’t always been equipped to meet this rapidly growing area.

This programme will enable you to gain substantial knowledge about the latest developments in the regulation of competition in digital markets.
