NUI Galway’s new four-year degree programme allows students interested in
law and business to study a wide range of legal and business subjects. Students
can also study a language (Legal German, Legal French, Spanish or Italian) and
spend year 3 studying abroad, graduating with a Bachelor of Corporate Law
International degree with the chosen language, for example Bachelor of
Corporate Law International (Legal French). Students not taking a language
may also spend year 3 studying abroad graduating with a Bachelor of
Corporate Law International degree. This is an accredited degree which allows
students to take all the law subjects required for entry to the Law Society of
Ireland, Blackhall Place and The Honourable Society King’s Inns to become a
solicitor or barrister therefore, students no longer need to do the one-year LLB
programme. A limited number of clinical work placements and summer

Galway City
Galway is one of the fastest growing cities
in Europe and is big enough to have
everything you need, but small enough to
get to know people easily. Galway really is
‘a university city’– the campus is in the
heart of the city centre, with all amenities
within walking distance. The cost of living
in Galway is significantly lower than other
university cities, making your move to
Galway that bit easier or, if you are from
Galway, another great reason to stay.
