Overview

Law and German at Trinity

The Law and German programme of Trinity College Dublin offers a unique opportunity to study core and specialised legal modules but also the language, culture and political systems of Germany. Students must undertake an Erasmus year in Germany, exposing them to the law of that legal system. The class sizes are small, fostering a close collegial relationship with peers and members of the both schools.

Graduate skills and career opportunities

The increasing Europeanisation of legal practice means that graduates of the law and a language degree programme have much to contribute to the legal and other professions in Ireland, as well as enjoying career opportunities in Europe. In addition to careers in the legal profession, Law and German graduates also find employment in business, journalism, accountancy, banking, insurance, politics, foreign affairs and diplomacy and public services.

Programme Structure

Your degree and what you’ll study

In the first and second years, you will study a variety of legal modules, taken alongside students reading for our other undergraduate law programmes. You will also further develop your language skills through studying a variety of modules on French/German language, politics and cultural studies.

The third year is a compulsory year spent studying legal and language-related modules in one of Germany’s top-ranking universities. This year abroad is designed to enable the student to enhance their knowledge of German law whilst perfecting their fluency in the foreign language.

At the end of the first year of your programme, you can choose to major in law (we refer to this as the ‘professional pathway’ – leading to the degree of LL.B. or you can major in German (resulting in a B.A. degree). You may of course choose to continue studying both subjects equally (B.A. Law German) or move into Single Honours law (LL.B.).
