Many industries and professions are adopting digital technologies on an unprecedented scale, revolutionising workplace practice. The changes occurring are largely positive, but as with any rapid change on such a large scale, the law must also evolve and ideally stay on the front foot – anticipating new situations, while identifying the legal implications of widespread technological disruption.
By studying a Graduate Certificate in Data and New Technology Law, you will be prepared to face the challenges of managing legal risks in an environment of widespread adoption of digital technology. A core area of investigation is the interaction between digital technology and the questions it poses for law, regulation and ethical responsibility.
The course will explore the ethical ramifications that accompany the enhanced capabilities of digital technology and data acquisition, particularly legal issues around privacy, security, ownership and accessibility of information, in the context of digital disruption more broadly.
Upon completion of the Graduate Certificate in Data and New Technology Law, graduates will be able to assess and manage legal risks regarding digital technology, and possess a thorough understanding of the ethical and legal implications of digital technology within workplace and professional contexts.
You can gain entry into the Graduate Certificate in Data and New Technology Law with:
RPL: If you are a qualified practising lawyer, you may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for the unit ‘Think Like a Lawyer in the Digital World’.
This course is not available to international students.
