Privacy and data protection law are increasingly crucial in our data-driven societies. Understanding the basic notions and premises in which they are grounded is not only a major asset for all law students, but also an open door to multiple professional and academic endeavours, ranging from working as a data protection officer (DPO) to being able to think of future-proof legal solutions to reconcile the market’s and public authorities’ appetite for personal data with individual rights and freedoms, from advising to private companies, to ensuring compliance in the public sector.
The course Privacy and Data Protection Law, to be taught in English, will introduce students to the core legal issues in this area in a way that allows them to better understand both current compliance requirements and upcoming privacy and data protection legal challenges. It will provide them with a general view of different global and regional approaches to privacy law, focusing on the European Union (EU) legal framework. The study of EU law will be developed through the analysis of both legislation and relevant case-law.
The course will offer students all basic necessary knowledge to be introduced to privacy and data protection law and familiarise them with all its multiple and distinct dimensions, from the prisms of EU law and taking into account the global context in which EU law operates.
All students will be given the opportunity to learn about privacy and data protection law by applying it in practical exercises.
Lectures might be followed either in the classroom or remotely.
