Master Droit Du Numerique

Digital law addresses the legal questions raised by information technology, data, and online activity, including data protection, intellectual property, electronic commerce, cybersecurity regulation, and the governance of digital platforms. Students in this field typically study general legal principles alongside specialised topics such as personal data law, contracts for digital services, liability of online intermediaries, and the regulation of artificial intelligence and connected devices. Because the subject sits at the boundary of law and technology, coursework often includes an introduction to how digital systems work, so that legal analysis can be applied accurately to technical situations. Graduates commonly work as legal counsel, data protection officers, compliance specialists, or advisors within technology companies, law firms, and public administrations. This Master Droit Du Numerique is delivered by Université de Poitiers, in Poitiers Cedex 9, France. It is a two-year master's degree taught in French, with an intake in September, based on the standard academic calendar. The yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Training in digital law generally requires keeping pace with fast-changing regulation, since rules on topics such as data protection, online platforms, and digital markets are revised frequently at both national and European levels. Students learn to interpret these evolving frameworks and apply them to practical situations faced by businesses and public bodies, from managing customer data responsibly to structuring contracts for software and online services. Because almost every organisation now depends on digital tools and data, legal expertise in this area is broadly applicable across sectors. Graduates may work in-house for technology firms, advise clients at law firms specialising in technology law, or take on regulatory roles within government agencies overseeing digital markets and data protection.
