Baku, March 13 (AZERTAC). On June 1, 2012, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) will launch the eleventh edition of the Master Program (LLM) in intellectual property (IP), jointly offered by the WIPO Academy and the University of Turin, in cooperation with the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization (ITC-ILO).
The working language of the LLM program is English. The program is structured in three different cycles stretching over 9 months, from June 2012 to February 2013: the first cycle, (from June to August 2012) consists of distance learning courses via the Internet; the second cycle, from September to December 2012 is based on face-to-face classes held in Turin, Italy (“the residential part of the program”); and the third cycle, stretching from December 2012 to February 2013, involves the writing and finalization of the final version of the research paper whose preparation commenced during the second cycle. The LLM Program is designed for young professionals who already have a grounding in IP and wish to acquire the skills required to play a leading role in that area, through exposure to an international and comparative approach.
The curriculum aims at providing an in-depth examination of all fields of IP and is taught by leading academicians, legal practitioners and IP experts drawn from various universities around the world and from WIPO. It includes a 5-day study visit to WIPO headquarters in Geneva, during which students follow a number of lectures and have an opportunity to meet officials from WIPO and other international organizations.
Upon satisfactory completion of the Course, students will receive a Diploma (“Master of Laws Degree in Intellectual Property”) jointly awarded by WIPO and the University of Turin.
Applicants must hold a four-year degree in law, economics, engineering, medicine, physics, chemistry, communication sciences or business administration. Excellent knowledge of English is required.
