University Course Information and Media Law

The LL.M. program "Information and Media Law" at the University of Vienna, led by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Forgó, is based upon the course "Information Law and Legal Information", which was established in 1999 at the Faculty of Law of the University of Vienna. With regard to the increasing importance of information and data in our society the course has been continually expanded and aims at giving a profound overview of information law.

Information and media law is subject to constant change due to the development of technologies, innovation and digitalisation. Accordingly, the University of Vienna also offers the certification course ‘IT-Law Update’ to prepare graduates of the university programme and members of the scientific interest group IT-Law.AT for these changes in the best possible way. At the end of the programme, participants will be able to classify, evaluate and solve legal issues arising from current developments in information technologies. This programme is also under the academic direction of Univ.-Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Forgó.
