The programme offers students with undergraduate qualifications in Law or Business (also including economics or finance) the opportunity for advanced study in both disciplines.
Graduates from this programme will go on to careers with leading international law firms, with multinational professional services firms, as professional advisers and in-house counsel with major multinational businesses and as entrepreneurs in fields where outstanding knowledge of and engagement with international law and business are highly relevant. Several UCD careers events are held throughout the year, including dedicated law careers fairs which are attended by top employers. For specific careers advice, the UCD Sutherland School of Law has a dedicated careers advisor on its academic faculty.

This programme offers students with undergraduate qualification in Law or Business (also including economics and finance) the opportunity for advanced study in both disciplines. This may lead to careers with leading international law firms or multinational professional services firms or as professional advisers and in-house counsel with major international businesses or as entrepreneurs in fields where knowledge of and engagement with international law and business are highly relevant.
Students are challenged to develop critical thinking abilities not only on the development of and relationship between the two disciplines but also on the application of the knowledge to the worlds of law and business.
We strive for a learning environment that encourages students to work individually or as part of a team, so they can develop their own and others's leadership, teamwork and communication skills, with a special emphasis on the applicability of these in law and business on an international level. The programme is offered jointly by the Sutherland School of Law and the Smurfit Graduate Business School.
The programme makes intensive use of teaching, learning and assessment approaches, such as small group teaching, in-class presentations (individual and group) and academic writing. A 30 credit dissertation on a topic devised by the student or a group capstone project, is an integral part of the programme.

I decided to study for the MSc
International Law & Business because I
wanted to specialise in international law
and understand how this field impacts
businesses worldwide. The interdisciplinary
approach of the MSc International Law &
Business enabled me to tailor my graduate
studies according to my professional goals.
The UCD Sutherland School of Law officially opened its new home in UCD in late 2013. The iconic 5,100m2 facility brings all the teaching, research and professional development activity of the Law School together into a single building. It is the first purpose-built university Law School in Ireland.
