BCL (LAW AND BUSINESS) (LWB)

Degree Overview
>The BCL is a three-year degree in law combined with one other subject, in this case Business - accredited by the Honorable Society of King's Inns. While the BCL covers all the core modules of law, students take less law than on the LLB (MH501), giving students more time to develop expertise in business. The main advantage is that it allows the study of law with learning in business. This combination is ideal for those who may wish to run their own practice, to work in a setting where law is applied, to work in a business itself, or to practice commercial law.
>Business is the way by which every product and service you use in daily life is developed, promoted and delivered on the global stage. This degree provides students with insights into the core functions of Business and how they interact to create value for and capture value from clients and customers.
>Law and Business students at Maynooth are offered unparalleled flexibility and choice. Students have the option of taking a four year degree with a work placement or study year abroad (subject to availability), thus combining what they learn in university with insights into industry (legal or commercial) or another culture.
>Students who successfully complete 1st year also have the option of transferring into the 2nd year of the LLB degree (MH501).
>The defining feature of this degree is the skill-set which it provides students; future employability is enhanced by developing the student’s faculties for argument and reasoning, for clear thinking, for the analysis of complicated ideas and for understanding the commercial context in which the law operates.
