This programme is for students who wish to combine law and business in a single degree, to develop a skill-set appropriate to both business and law, as well as knowledge, skills and experience applicable in a wide variety of other careers. In particular, the programme enable student to proceed to training as lawyers or business professional in Ireland and elsewhere.

Beyond developing a very high level of personal competence in both fields, the degree seeks to produce graduate who will be reflective, ethical and responsible in using those abilities at work and in the community.

In particular, the learning environment assists students to develop the skills in research, analysis and advocacy that the law curriculum particularly provides and the numeracy, financial literacy and commercial awareness that are distinctive of business education. Students have diverse opportunities, notably through tutorials and small-group teaching to develop their skills in research, teamwork, oral and written communication and life skills for future employment.

Teaching, learning and assessment approaches include tutorials, legal writing and research exercises, advocacy and mooting, seminars, work placements, case studies, simulations of professional and business practice service learning and company projects.

1 - Critically appreciate the interplay and interdependencies of business functions.
2 - Demonstrate and apply knowledge of appropriate methods, tools and techniques for identifying and resolving business problems.
3 - Demonstrate an active awareness of the ethical, social and professional values associated with law and business.
4 - Communicate business and legal concepts, arguments and solutions in a professional, informed and accessible manner to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
5 - Develop independent and collaborative lifelong learning skills.
