UCD Law
“I decided to study Law with Economics at UCD because of the flexibility it offered. Choosing law with another subject is a way to really broaden your education and university experience. In addition, UCD provides students with a hands-on approach to legal education. My involvement with the Student Legal Service has allowed me to gain valuable legal skills through its legal clinics and Negotiation Competition. UCD Law’s global partners provide a wide variety of exchange opportunities and I plan to spend next year studying at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. ”

Why is this course for me? This course allows you to obtain a highly respected degree in Irish law, whilst simultaneously acquiring a broad knowledge of economics. Certain areas of law (e.g. competition regulation and intellectual property) are heavily influenced by economic theory. BCL (Law with Economics) graduates are uniquely equipped to understand these regulatory frameworks in all of their conceptual complexity. On this degree, you’ll embark on a field of cross-disciplinary study which is intellectually very demanding, but also tremendously enriching and of immense practical importance.

Constitutional Law¬ Contract Law¬ Tort Law
In addition, you are introduced to the principles of micro-economics and quantitative economics.
