The programme offers students with undergraduate qualifications in Law or Business (also including economics or finance) the opportunity for advanced study in both disciplines.
We are delighted to partner with the University of Western Australia to offer a Double Degree across this and many of our other masters programmes. This 1+1 Double Degree consists of two separate awards: a UCD SSoL one-year taught Masters Degree followed by a UWA Law School one year taught Masters Degree.
The UCD SSoL degree will be from one of the following programmes:
LLM General, LLM International Commercial Law, LLM in Criminology & Criminal Justice, LLM in IP and IT Law, LLM in International Human Rights, LLM European Law and Public Affairs, MSc Criminology and Criminal Justice and MSc International Law and Business.
The UWA Law School one year taught Masters Degree can be taken in one of the following fields:
Master of International Commercial Law, Master of International Law, Master of Taxation Law, Master of Law, Policy and Government, Master of Commercial and Resources Law, and Master of Mining and Energy Law.
More details on the UWA programmes available at: https://www.uwa.edu.au/able/schools/law-school#anchor-Courses-9D61DB9F-11D2-4ED0-AFA5-9AC77FF94CCB
The academic calendar at UWA extends from February to June (Semester 1) and July to November (Semester 2). Students transferring from UCD will be required to meet normal overseas admission standards before being admitted to the UWA Masters programme i.e. the equivalent of a Weighted Average Mark of 60% overall in the first year of their UCD Masters study
Each student shall pay the full annual fees for the programme to the institution they are studying at for the year of payment.
Each year, UWA may award full or partial tuition fee scholarships to the best qualified UCD candidates who commence the UWA Masters programme. The number of these full or partial scholarships and eligibility for them may be determined by UWA in accordance with the number of students entering the programme and/or their academic performance. It is expected that these will be as follows:
- For Students with a UWA WAM equivalent of 70% (UCD GPA of 3.08) or greater a fee waiver of $A5,000 per annum.
- For Students with a UWA WAM equivalent of 75% (UCD GPA of 3.38) or greater a fee waiver of $A8,000 per annum.
- For Students with a UWA WAM equivalent of 80% (UCD GPA of 3.68) or greater a fee waiver of $A10,000 per annum.
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.
