Overview

Law at Trinity

Trinity’s School of Law, is Ireland’s oldest and most internationally renowned law school. It is the highest ranked Law School in Ireland in both the QS and THE world rankings 2020. We have produced some of the most prolific lawyers of the modern era in Ireland. Our strong network of alumni in Ireland abroad comprises leading lawyers, judges, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Chief Justices, Presidents of Ireland, policy-makers and public representatives.

Graduate skills and career opportunities

The Law programme of Trinity College Dublin prepare students not only for life as ‘lawyers’, but also enables them to enter many career fields such as business, journalism, accountancy, banking, insurance, politics, foreign affairs and public policy, both in Ireland and abroad. The skills learned through studying law are useful in all walks of life. A law degree teaches students to think logically and analytically. It also equips students with the ability to carry out research, to apply relevant information to problems, to use language precisely, carefully and objectively.

Programme Structure

Your degree and what you’ll study

In the first and second years of the programme, we ensure that there is an appropriate balance between the academic and practical aspects of law. In the third and fourth years, you will take modules at a more advanced level and allow you to tailor your studies to develop specialised areas of interest, e.g. employment law or medical law and ethics.

A distinctive feature of the Trinity Law degree is that you will also complete some modules outside of the School of Law during the second and third years of the programme. This will give you the opportunity to choose to study modules in a related discipline, as well as a choice of modules addressing broad themes relevant to all students across the entire University. This feature of our programme ensures that you leave with broad horizons and a flexible range of skills that go beyond those that are purely legal in nature.
