Why is this course for me? The BCL (Law with French Law) allows you to undertake a degree in Irish law, whilst simultaneously acquiring a broad knowledge of French law and a very high level of competence in French language and French legal terminology. While on this degree, you’ll gain comparative insights which inform an enhanced critical perspective on Irish law. The third year of the degree is spent at a leading law school in France.
What will I study?
First & Second 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. For this reason, you are not required (but may choose) to take General Introduction to Legal Studies and General Introduction to Comparative Legal Studies.
In second year, you will study: EU Law¬Property Law¬ Criminal Law
You’ll also advance your French language skills and gain a preliminary knowledge of French private law.
Third & Fourth Year You’ll spend your third year at a partner university in Paris, Toulouse or Aix- Marseilles, and will return to UCD for the final year of the degree.
Other courses of interest Law
BCL/Maîtrise
In UCD, as a fourth year student, you’ll be required to complete a dissertation on French law and to continue your French language training. In addition, you’ll choose from a variety of law modules including clinical legal education modules offered at the Clinical Legal Education Centre (CLEC).
Note: Some modules on this degree are taught through French.
You’ll attend lectures and tutorials, in addition to engaging in study and preparatory work. A sample timetable can be viewed at
www.ucd.ie/myucd/law.
Assessment is through a combination of end-of-semester examinations, essays and group work projects.

“One of my best decisions was to choose to study Law with French Law at UCD. From the moment I stepped on campus in 2011, I felt supported and academically challenged. A very appealing and defining characteristic of the UCD Law with French Law degree is the small class setting. I’ve made life-long friends while feeling comfortable to give my opinion and gaining confidence in my ability. This, teamed with excellent societies such as the UCD Law Review, has encouraged me to develop personally and academically. My year in Paris was a year for embracing a new culture and a new way of studying Law. Above all, it added an international and European aspect to my education. I truly cannot recommend this programme and UCD enough.”
