Special Entry Recommendations Students will need a minimum grade H3 in Leaving Certificate French (or equivalent) to take the BCL (Law with French Law) course.
Why is this course for me? This degree is one of two French Law Programmes offered by Sutherland School of Law, the other being the BCL/Maîtrise on the opposite page. All students interested in the French Law Programmes enter the BCL [Law with French Law] in first year. Both degrees offer the exciting opportunity for immersion in two of the world’s major legal systems, the common law and the civil law.
The BCL (Law with French Law) degree provides you with a qualification in Irish law while acquiring a broad knowledge of French law and a very high level of competence in French language and French legal terminology. Students gain valuable comparative insights which inform an enhanced critical perspective on Irish law.
One year (third) is spent at a leading law school in France.
What will I study? Most French law modules studied at UCD are taught through French.
First Year First year focuses on the core Irish law modules of Constitutional Law¬ Contract Law¬ Tort Law. This is combined with intensive French language training and an introduction to French Public Law and French Private Law, General Introduction to Legal Studies and General Introduction to Comparative Legal Studies.

Second Year In second year, you will study other core Irish law modules : EU Law¬Property Law ¬ Criminal Law. You will also advance your French language training and continue to study French Private Law and French Public Law.
Third & Fourth Year You will spend your third year at a partner university in Paris, Toulouse or Aix-Marseille. You will return to UCD for the final year of your BCL degree (where some modules are taught through French) and will be required to complete a dissertation in French on French law.
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities This degree ensures that graduates are well placed to pursue careers with international law firms, EU and international organisations, diplomacy and government departments, or Non-Governmental Organisations. Past graduates have progressed to study at prestigious institutions in the EU and internationally and others have obtained scholarships to the renowned College of Europe in Bruges.
“These four years have been some of the most rewarding of my life. Given the opportunity to study two of the most prominent legal systems in the world, you come out of it with an incredibly wide knowledge. The UCD teaching staff are incredible and because of the class sizes, they get to know you and you them, something quite rare in university. I was also lucky to go to Aix-en-Provence where I was exposed to a whole new culture. You will be surprised as your written and spoken French improves, to the point where you are fully comfortable studying law in both languages.”
Rolline Skehan Student
