Master in Law and New Technologies

For Master in Law and New Technologies, tuition fees are 1,843 EUR per year.

Law and New Technologies examines how legal systems respond to developments in digital technology, data processing, and emerging innovations such as artificial intelligence. This master's programme is taught in English at the Universita degli Studi Roma Tre, in Roma, Italy, and runs for two years. Students in this field typically study data protection and privacy law, intellectual property, internet regulation, and the legal implications of automated decision-making and artificial intelligence systems. Coursework often examines how existing legal frameworks, including contract, liability, and consumer protection law, are being adapted to address technologies that did not exist when those frameworks were originally written. The discipline sits at the intersection of law, technology policy, and ethics, and students are often trained to analyze how new technologies challenge established legal categories, from questions of accountability for automated systems to the cross-border regulation of digital platforms and data flows. Many programmes also address comparative approaches, examining how different jurisdictions regulate similar technological developments. Graduates with training in law and new technologies pursue careers as legal advisors specializing in technology and data protection, compliance officers, policy analysts, and consultants for companies operating in digital markets. Others work with regulatory bodies, law firms with technology practices, or continue into doctoral research on legal aspects of emerging technology. Given the rapid pace of technological change, this field requires ongoing engagement with new developments and their legal consequences. Based in Roma, students in this programme study within Italy's capital, home to national legislative and regulatory institutions. As the programme is delivered in English, it is intended to be accessible to an international group of students interested in the legal dimensions of technology.
