The MSc in Management of Intellectual Property explores the foundations of this area of law with relation to patents, trademarks and the other core areas within this field. This Masters of Science is primarily aimed at science and engineering graduates who wish to pursue a career as patent or trade mark attorneys, though it is also open to graduates from all academic backgrounds who wish to study Intellectual Property (IP) at postgraduate level. You will be assessed by examination and dissertation. You will take a three-hour and 15-minute paper for each full core option, (for example Copyright and designs law I and II) and a two-hour and 15-minute paper for each half option, (if half options are run). There is continued need for expertise in intellectual property law and management in industry, commerce and the innovative and creative industries, and this MSc gives you the opportunity to study IP to a high level. The programme offers a professional stream (for science and technology graduates), and a business stream, available to graduates from all fields looking to expand their knowledge of the application and management of IP.
