"The delivery of legal services is evolving quickly, and depends increasingly on the overlapping disciplines of data science. Ulster University’s new 'Corporate Law and Computing' course is an exciting opportunity to acquire the practical knowledge and skills that are much in demand, as legal practices of all types equip themselves with the resources they need to support markets, commerce and society in the new data-centric era."

CLCI Student Testimonials
"I have just completed my first year of this Masters. The quality of teaching is fantastic and the course offers the perfect opportunity for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge on the relationship between law and tech."
Aine Hughes, Solicitor at A&L Goodbody & student CLCI.
“First class placement opportunities provided by this course allow me to network with the best businesses in Belfast as well as making myself and my abilities known. Completing this course will help aid my career aspirations by giving me the necessary skills to succeed in today’s high tech environment.”
Damien McCann - graduate CLCI
"I have had such a positive experience doing my masters in corporate law and technology. I now know this was the right masters for me given my passion for law and realising early on in my undergraduate degree that technology and computing makes lawyers' jobs easier and improves the accessibility and quality of legal services. There are also not enough lawyers/legal professionals who are familiar with processes such as, artificial intelligence, coding and machine learning for example. I am glad I have acquired more knowledge on these areas through my masters and have a good skill set that I can carry with me into my new legal job.☺️ If anyone has any questions about this particular Masters in Law at Ulster you can send me a message.😊"
Melissa McDonnell - student CLCI
