Manage compliance with confidence

The programme combines the three modules Data Protection Law, Internet Law and Computer Criminal Law. The further education programme is aimed at employees who are responsible for IT, a website or an online shop, for example, and who need to ensure compliance in their area of responsibility. The programme provides the know-how to be able to apply the relevant legal provisions with confidence. The programme is completed in two semesters and concludes with the internationally recognised Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS). It comprises these three modules:

Data protection law
