Bachelor of Laws Evening Degree Programme

Part-Time Degree: A Bachelor of Laws Degree in 4 Years

I came to the UL School of Law as a mature student, with an established career in business and finance. I found the LLB Evening programme to be a really excellent experience covering a wide spectrum of legal areas from Criminal and Constitutional Law, to Commercial, Contract, Tort and European Law.

Without exception, every module covered proved to be engaging, absorbing and stimulating. Students are allowed to explore a wide range of legal issues with lecturers who are acknowledged experts and Gerry Greaney published authors in their respective fields. The schedules and materials Evening LLB Graduate, are ideally suited, particularly for those with a busy work schedule. 2013
