The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) with a language combines a full Irish law degree with the study of the law, language and culture of one of three European countries: France, Germany or Spain. Students learn about legal rules and systems, why they exist, how they have developed and how they relate to social and economic goals. Whilst the focus is on Irish law, students will obtain a grounding in the law and legal system of one other European country. In addition, upon completion of the degree, students will have reached C1 standard in their chosen language on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
This course is recognised by King's Inns as a qualifying law degree for the purposes of admission to the Barrister at Law degree.

Graduates will be equipped to take up professional roles in a range of businesses, public services, non-governmental and European Institutions. The course also facilitates entry in to both branches of the Irish legal profession.
