Why is this course for me? Legal systems express and reflect the prevailing moral, political, social and economic philosophy of the State. Law and philosophy are, therefore, complementary fields of study. An understanding of law is fundamentally enhanced by a deeper knowledge of philosophical theory. This course offers you a highly respected degree in law combined with an enriched appreciation of its philosophical underpinnings.


What will I study?

“I had always wanted to study law, but studying it alongside philosophy has enhanced my ability to craft and deconstruct arguments, and to critically analyse legal and philosophical problems. I find that each subject is an interesting counterpoint to the other, and each gives me an interesting angle on the same questions - for example studying Property Law while simultaneously studying the philosophical underpinnings and criticisms of property rights. Being able to argue at this level has been really beneficial. I am a European semi-finalist in competitive debate, winner of the Irish Times Debating Championship and the John Smith Memorial International Mace. The Sutherland School of Law has been incredibly supportive of my extra-curricular interests throughout.”
