The International Business Law programme allows students to choose from a range of postgraduate law modules with a focus on trade, enterprise or corporate activity.

Students must complete 90 credits in total – 60 credits from the optional modules, plus the compulsory Professional Development (5 credits) and Dissertation (25 credits) modules.

Professional Development is undertaken in year 1 of the programme, and the Dissertation is undertaken in year 2. Students should then register for 30 credits of optional modules each year, and can elect how to spread these modules across the year.

Not all modules offered will run every year, offerings are dependent upon demand and other potential constraints. Please note that some modules will have prerequisites attached to them.

Students can elect to graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma instead of an LLM, if they find that they are unable to complete the Dissertation.

Students who undertake the LLM in International Business Law will have valuable critical analytical and research skills, as well as a deeper knowledge of current issues facing global trade and enterprise. These will be beneficial for a wide variety of careers in which law intersects with the business world. Students who undertook this programme have gone on to work for a range of different organisations, including leading law firms, investment companies, and government departments.  The LLM in International Business Law is also excellent preparation for undertaking doctoral studies. The School has strong links with several private and public sector organisations, including several leading Irish law firms. Through these relationships we offer students valuable opportunities for professional development and networking, both as part of the degree and outside of it.
