As the universities are internationally recognised in this field, students come from all over the world to study these majors there. As such, the student community forms a diverse range of peers from national and international backgrounds who are similarly talented and as eager to learn.

With a healthy amount of hands-on learning, students undergoing these degrees will acquire valuable “transferable skills” demanded by modern employers. Furthermore, courses are structured such that students are prepared to think strategically and critically about future trends in law and business both nationally and internationally.

Some of these programmes and universities supports paid or voluntary placement at home and/or abroad as an integral part of the learning process. Where programmes provide placement as part of the degree programme this provides an invaluable learning opportunity.

In addition to benefitting from the excellent academic and intellectual wealth of the College of Business and Law at University College Cork the student’s academic activities are supported with skills-based education for instance in, legal writing, analysis, presentation skills and teamwork skills.

Is this the right programme for you?

Students entering the faculties of Business and Law must want to stretch themselves both intellectually and in other ways, through participation in student societies which are supported by the College, many of which have a discipline based focus, and through sports and cultural activities, which are in turn complimented by the universities’ beautifully situated campus, where both sports grounds and the cities’ cultural life are within easy reach.
