BACHELOR OF LAWS (LLB)

Degree Overview
> The LLB (MH501) is a four-year degree almost exclusively in law, allowing you to study law in depth and detail. This innovative programme puts a strong emphasis on the development of verbal and written advocacy skills through applied modules such as legal skills, negotiation and dispute resolution. Students can future-proof their degree with our exciting new modules in Law and Technology in each of years 2 and 3.
>MH501 provides students with a wider selection of law modules than MH502, the BCL, and is one year longer than the latter degree. Both law degrees, MH501 and MH502, are accredited by the Honorable Society of the King's Inns.
>Acquire a thorough grounding in the fundamental areas of legal study and a broad range of specialist modules like Law and Biotechnology, Tax Law, and Media Law.
>Enhance employability by developing your faculties for argument, reasoning and for the analysis of complicated ideas.
>Students may apply to complete a work placement year in a law firm (subject to availability) or a year studying abroad at one of our international partner institutions (subject to availability).
>Student societies such as the Law Society, European Law Students' Association or Student FLAC (Free Legal Advice Centre) Society are all valuable additions to our students' university experience.
