UCD Law Career and International Pathways
KEY FAC T Over one third of UCD Law students spend time overseas before graduation.
You might be planning a career in law or you might simply want a good general degree, one that will equip you for life. Either way, a degree from Ireland’s leading law school will stand you in good stead. Te range of professional, analytical and writing skills and the way of thinking you acquire will take you anywhere and help you throughout your career and your life. Te Sutherland School of Law will have state-of-the-art facilities for teaching in small and large groups, and will incorporate a ceremonial moot court room, as well as a purpose-built Clinical Legal Education Centre with a wide range of facilities for teaching advocacy, negotiation, alternative dispute resolution and other key clinical subjects.
Professor Colin Scott, Dean of Law, UCD
Our four year degree programmes offer distinctive opportunities to develop knowledge, skills and experience. Our international focus could see you spending a year abroad on one of our exchange programmes. Or you might want to combine law with one of a range of other relevant subjects. New clinical modules encourage students to think about the significance of practice for understanding how the legal system affects our society and economy. Our graduates have made an unparalleled and enduring contribution to the legal and political life of modern Ireland, and are also contributing significantly to the worlds of business, arts and charities; you could be one of them. I would be delighted to welcome you to UCD School of Law next September.
Where you can go as a UCD Law Graduate As a Law graduate from UCD, you have a wide range of career opportunities. You will be supported in plotting your path toward these choices by academic staff and by our dedicated careers adviser based in the UCD Careers Service.
