This four-year BCL (Law and Languages) program combines legal studies with French, German, Irish, or Spanish, creating diverse career opportunities both in Ireland and internationally.
The curriculum includes specialized courses in French, German, or Spanish legal systems, along with Irish language law components, plus training in legal translation and terminology.
Participants can acquire global experience through a structured study abroad initiative at one of our partner universities worldwide.
Irish language students will complete one semester in a Gaeltacht environment or Irish-language workplace, combined with an Erasmus study semester overseas during their third year.
Those seeking practical experience can pursue internships in countries where their chosen language is spoken, with institutional support.
While students are expected to arrange their own work placements, these must receive approval and registration through the Careers and Employability Service.
Program graduates will emerge with enhanced analytical abilities, advanced language competencies, and heightened cultural sensitivity.
