LL.B. (Hons)

LL.B. comes from the Latin Lex Legum Baccalaureus- Bachelor of Laws. A highly focused discipline, law examines how groups and individuals regulate their relationships. The course is available both full-time and part-time and runs from September to May. While typically three years in duration, those who study law part-time also have the flexibility to complete the programme over four or five years, depending on their personal circumstances. Comprehensive, rigorous and enduring, the LL.B. (Hons) in Law is the perfect grounding for your legal career.

The full-time degree consists of up to 16 lecture hours per week. Extra time is allocated to assignment work and to the vital independent study that shapes attitude, deepens understanding, and provides students with practical exposure to problem-solving. The evening part-time degree consists of 8-10 weekly lecture hours over 2-3 evenings.

With the Griffith College LL.B. degree, the student will avail of individual career advice with work placement opportunities. They may also participate in innovative student activities such as the Irish Innocence Project, Griffith’s Free Legal Advice Clinic as well as joining our award winning students in the Mooting and Debating Societies.

Following this course, the learner can go forward to sit the entrance examinations for the King’s Inns or The Law Society of Ireland depending on whether they wish to pursue a career as a solicitor or barrister. However, students are not tied to just a legal career as many of our students have pursued a career in banking, media and other related disciplines.
