This accelerated law programme recognises the prior learning, academic experience, and maturity of graduate-entry students. The diversity of backgrounds within the cohort enriches classroom discussion and encourages interdisciplinary approaches to legal problems. While the core modules open pathways to legal practice in Ireland, the curriculum is also designed to support qualification in key foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the degree offers a selection of practice-focussed modules that target contemporary, transferable lawyering skills.
