The Master of Arts in Law (Professional) is an in-depth yet adaptable postgraduate legal degree that accelerates graduates toward thriving careers in law and other fields demanding strong legal expertise and analytical abilities.
This program delivers a complete grasp of Irish law, the structure of Ireland's legal institutions, and how they fit within the international legal landscape. Students develop advanced reasoning and problem-solving skills to address legal challenges across social, business, and regulatory environments while gaining the ability to assess legal principles and procedures critically.
With intentionally limited class sizes to promote engagement, the Master of Arts in Law (Professional) connects students with accomplished legal educators, numerous of whom bring substantial practical experience from the field.
Admission to the Master of Arts in Law (Professional) requires at least a second class honours level 8 primary degree (2.2 or higher).
Due to competition for places, satisfying the minimum entry requirements is not a guarantee of a place.
Students who obtained the DIT Post-Graduate Diploma in Law in 2014 or later may apply for entry into year two of the programme. However, these students should note that the Master of Arts in Law (Professional) is accredited by King’s Inns only for those who commence year one in 2017/8 or later.
