The Institute of Law for Science and Technology (ILST) is aimed at cultivating highly qualified interdisciplinary legal professionals with the ability to lead and to deal with changes and challenges. To this end, ILST has set its goals toward integrating law, humanities, science, and technology, among other disciplines, as well as emphasizing both theory and practice. In pursuit of these goals, ILST has developed the following action plans, which together make ILST a unique and outstanding institute.

Integration of Law, Science, and Technology

ILST is dedicated to promoting interdisciplinary education. It offers comprehensive fundamental law courses, such as civil law, criminal law, administrative law, business law, and constitutional law, which are designed for students without traditional legal backgrounds. Moreover, ILST prudently focuses and provides rigorous training on the following five fields of research: intellectual property law, info-communications law, biotechnology law, international & comparative law, and environmental & energy law. The structure and contents of the courses within these five fields will be introduced in the “Curriculum” section. In addition, ILST is a pioneer in the field of AI and law—offering the very first AI law and policy course in Taiwan.

Low Student-Teacher Ratio

The ILST master’s program has an average student-teacher ratio of 6:1. With a remarkably low student-teacher ratio, ILST students are guaranteed to receive attentive and tailored instruction for their studies and research. Moreover, students in the doctorate program, approved in 2015 by the Ministry of Education, can similarly enjoy rigorous and personalized guidance. The frequent and close interaction between faculty members and students allow for tailored learning paths according to each student’s needs, which is vital to the students’ journeys in interdisciplinary legal studies.

Projects and Internships and/or Externships

Thanks to close proximity to prominent institutions and the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park, ILST holds a dominant position for providing students with greater learning opportunities. By leveraging this advantage, ILST further combines theory and practice through standing collaboration with the technology industry as well as other distinguished academic and research institutions. Internship and/or externship opportunities with large law firms and legal departments of top technology corporations are provided by ILST to give students access to real-life application of legal instruments and theories. ILST continues to expand this access for more ILST students. Solid academic training at ILST, along with invaluable and practical experiences, have enabled ILST students to explore diverse careers.
