Introduction
The LLB (Graduate Entry) program is a two year full-time program specifically designed to provide a legal education to graduates in disciplines other than law. Graduates from any discipline other than law may apply and no prior legal knowledge is necessary. Entry is competitive and the minimum entry requirement is a 2nd class honours grade 2 undergraduate degree.
The program is ideally suited to graduates who wish to supplement their primary studies with a legal education or to graduates who are seeking a career change. The program is also available to graduates who have studied law in a country where the legal system is not a common law system, i.e. the dominant system in countries including Ireland, England and Wales, Australia, and the United States of America.
All law subjects required by the Irish professional bodies, the Law Society and the Kings Inns, are covered in full over the course of this program.
