Law is a challenging and highly respected field. As a student, you will explore the legal relationships that pervade our society, affecting individuals, families, corporations and the State. You will acquire a thorough grounding in the fundamental areas of legal study, including Irish domestic law, the Irish legal system, and European law. At the same time, you will gain a strong foundation in business and management, acquiring skills in areas such as economics, marketing, accounting, and human resources.
The study of Law develops your facility for argument and reasoning, for clear thinking, and for the analysis of complicated ideas. You will also gain the ability to express complex issues clearly in oral and written forms. A grounding in business topics will also open up avenues to enter many areas of enterprise and management.
