LLM in Media Law

The LLM in Media Law at Queen Mary, University of London allows students the opportunity to gain expertise in a range of legal regimes governing key aspects of the media, from the regulation of all key forms of media content to the regulation of the infrastructures via which that content is delivered, including traditional, new and still-developing media.

In an age of seemingly infinite broadcast channels, online information at our fingertips, and the ever-increasing economic and cultural significance of the entertainment industry, media law has never been more relevant to our daily lives than it is today.

What is Media Law?

Media law is the study of the regulation of the media, whether in traditional print form, the broadcast media, or in the online arena. Increasingly, media regulations must be, and are being, adapted to take account of new technological developments as the dividing line between online media and traditional forms becomes less pronounced.

LLM in Media Law 2011-12

Before I came to Queen Mary I was studying LLB at ILS Law College, Pune in India. I wanted to specialise in Media Law and since it was not a taught subject in my LLB course, I decided to undertake postgraduate study. QMUL is one of the very few colleges in the world to offer Media Law, the specialisation I was looking to pursue, and I was honoured to be chosen to be awarded the Centre for Commercial Law Studies Scholarship. Apart from this, the rankings speak for the college. In hindsight, not coming here would have been a mistake, I’m glad I took it up! QMUL has been incredibly supportive and made studying in the UK an enjoyable and beneficial experience. The legal events are interesting and excellent for networking. The Postgraduate Law Society, a new development, has made some amazing progress and will definitely benefit the prospective students QMUL will attract. London, when the weather is not acting up, is a beautiful place to stay and study in. There is always something to do, something to see! Also London, much like QMUL is a cultural melting pot and that’s what makes living here so enjoyable.
