Bachelor of Laws in Common and Civil Law University of Limerick

Program Description

The study of law is an enriching educational experience that provides intellectual stimulation and exposure to decision-making and argumentative skills. The LLB in Common and Civil Law programme provides an opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s degree in both Common Law (The Irish/UK legal system) and Civil Law (the system used in most mainland European jurisdictions). Graduates can therefore expect to have a wide variety of options open to them upon graduation. University of Limerick moot court and appellate court facilities are utilised throughout the programme to develop these skills and ensure our students graduate equipped to deal with working in the legal environments in Ireland and France. These skills are of course transferable and of great benefit to those who choose to pursue a career outside of law. Through enhancing existing links with our partner institution, the Université de Franche Comté, UFR Sciences Juridiques, Économiques, Politiques et de Gestion, University of Limerick can offer students a first-class experience of living and studying in the picturesque city of Besancon while achieving a legal education that opens opportunities throughout Europe and the European Union.
