Email academic.registry@tcd.ieOur flagship LL.M. programme also known as LL.M. (General) offers students the opportunity for postgraduate study where they can select modules from a substantial list of modules covering the disparate branches of law. Students can focus on public law or private law modules or may take a selection of both.
This programme will enable students to develop the skills to use appropriate legal theories, doctrines and concepts to identify, formulate, analyse and solve legal problems within national and international contexts and identify, evaluate and synthesise jurisprudential theories and concepts at a level appropriate to Masters graduates.
If you would like to learn about the world of commercial arbritration or aviation law while at the same time having the opportunity to study Islamic law or refugee law, then this programme is for you.
It is important to note that students wishing to pursue one on of our specialised LL.M. degrees and gain access to those modules should apply to that particular LLM degree. For further information, see 'Related Programmes' section.
This course broadens and deepens students' knowledge of the law, further developing their research skills and significantly enhancing their career prospects both within the legal profession and elsewhere.
The year is divided into two semesters during each of which students are required to take three modules. Each module is offered in one semester only and involves 22 hours of classwork. Various forms of assessment are utilised in the different modules. In addition, all students must complete a research dissertation over the academic year on an approved theme.
The LL.M. in Laws is delivered over one academic year. It seeks to promote critical analysis of, and reflection on, different aspects of national, European and international law.
Students on this programme are examined in six modules and will also complete a research dissertation on a topic approved by the Dissertation Director and related to some aspect of law.
During their studies, students can choose from an array of modules designed to deepen their knowledge of both public and private law without becoming overly-specialised in one facet of law.
