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.
