The UCD Sutherland School of Law is a connected community of students and faculty who are committed to creating a more sustainable and equitable future for all. We work together in a culture of collaboration to support each other to thrive and achieve our full potential, in service of broader societal goals. Through our undergraduate and graduate education, research and external engagement, we aim to ensure that our students, faculty and staff thrive and contribute to sustainable well-being on our campus, in Ireland and across the wider world. Our faculty are globally recognized experts in the fields of Law and Criminology, advancing knowledge through research, engaging with government, business and civil society to enhance our world, and using their knowledge to design and offer cutting edge education within their disciplines of Law and Criminology .

The Law degrees at UCD incorporate a diverse range of formal and informal learning opportunities for students, delivered by excellent researchers who are leading their fields globally, and embedding the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDG’s) in their educational activities where appropriate.

Law governs many aspects of our lives. It affects many of our day-to-day interactions, transactions and personal relationships, as well as the fundamental challenges which face our societies such as climate change, human rights violations and rule of law backsliding. Law students gain a deep understanding of Law and develop real-world skills in research, communication and leadership. By integrating their legal expertise with the goals of sustainable development, our graduates can significantly contribute to advancing these global objectives and creating a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.

Through learning how policy makers respond to societal challenges, students are equipped to make a difference to the world, affect cultural change, contribute to public service or corporate responsibility to advance the sustainable development goals. The curriculum for our law degrees align with many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in meaningful and impactful ways. The following are the primary areas where there is closest alignment:

Quality Education (SDG 4)
Gender Equality (SDG 5)
Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8)
Industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9)
Reduce Inequalities (SDG 10)
Peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG 16)

I chose Law with Economics as I wanted an excellent legal education with an additional understanding of businesses and people in the economy. I studied exceptional modules, which were in equal parts rewarding, challenging and exciting. Studying complementary areas like competition and finance through both disciplines was particularly worthwhile. Outside of class, I presented mock court appeals to leading Irish judges, debated across Europe and organised debates and speakers for nearly 1,000 students at a time with the UCD Law Society. UCD’s Law with Economics students have countless opportunities during their degree and into the future. (Conor is now an Associate in a major Dublin Law Firm).
