The Bachelor in Laws in Common and Civil Law is a 4-year degree for students passionate about law. It combines studies in Irish and French legal systems, with the first two years at the University of Limerick and the last two years at Université Marie et Louis Pasteur in France. This program helps students gain a deep understanding of two distinct legal frameworks.

The curriculum covers core legal subjects like Contract Law, Criminal Law, and EU Law. Students develop essential legal skills through hands-on assessments, including moot court cases and traditional examinations. This approach prepares graduates for the complexities of legal practice in both Ireland and France.

Graduates can pursue careers as solicitors, legal advisors, or compliance officers. They may find opportunities in international law firms, European Union institutions, or multinational corporations. Possible job titles include legal consultant, contracts manager, or EU law specialist.
