Te UCD Law School has a long and proud history. Our graduates have gone on to hold the highest offices in the State (Chief Justice, Attorney General, Taoiseach, Tánaiste) and have assumed leadership roles at a European and international level.


Law offers a challenging and intellectually-enriching field of study and UCD Law students are encouraged to engage with the transformative potential of law and to question orthodoxies. Our faculty are specialists in many diverse fields of law and they assist students in plotting their own legal pathways and developing their own areas of expertise. We offer the widest range of Law degrees in Ireland, enabling students to focus on Law alone or to combine the study of Irish Law with Business, History, Philosophy, Politics, Economics, Social Justice or French Law.


We encourage our students to develop practical legal skills, through advocacy training and through organised internships. Students may also apply for a place on our highly developed international exchange programme. Tis allows many of our students to spend time abroad enhancing their foreign language skills and experiencing other systems of law.


In 2013, the School will move into the state-of-the-art Sutherland Building, beginning an exciting new chapter for UCD Law.


73 Your First Year Experience


In first year you will explore the fundamentals of law: focussing on constitutional and contract law, for example, and learning about the legal obligations owed by the State and by private individuals to one another. Lectures will be supplemented with tutorial teaching which will help you to learn how to apply precedent, to interpret legislation and ultimately to find your own voice as a lawyer.


Te Law School welcomes first year students into a friendly community. To assist in their transition to university, new students join the same small groups for tutorials, and peer and academic mentoring. A dedicated ‘General Introduction to Legal Studies’ module emphasises legal problem-solving through teamwork and interactive learning. First year students are also encouraged to participate in mooting, debating and the many social events organised by the students’ Law Society.


UCD Law provides students with specialist careers support from the very start, in order to ensure that they achieve their highest ambitions, like so many previous generations of UCD Law graduates.
