About Law (BCL) and Business, Bachelor - at University of Galway

The four-year Bachelor of Civil Law and Business allows students to combine the study of a full law degree with principal commercial disciplines such as Business & Commercial Law, Accountancy, Economics, Management and Digital Business & Analytics. Graduates will understand not only the legal process but also the fundamentals of business. This will prepare graduates to work as lawyers in a corporate environment.

Students complete all the modules required to support them to undertake the entrance exams for the Law Society of Ireland, should they wish to qualify as a solicitor. Students who wish to qualify as a barrister will have the option of taking all the modules required by the Honourable Society of King's Inns through the Legal Professions specialised stream.

Throughout the programme there is an emphasis on acquiring the fundamental practical skills required of lawyers - legal research, writing, oral presentation and advocacy.

In year three of this course students will have the opportunity to spend the academic year completing professional work placement or studying abroad. Students will have the opportunity to apply for a professional work placement in a leading law firm, a corporate organisation, a public sector organisation or other suitable legal placement. Study abroad is highly recommended for students who choose to study a language (Spanish, Legal French or Legal German) and are encouraged to study in our partner universities in Germany, France and Spain. We have also partnered with a number of leading universities who teach through English in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, China, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, India, Poland, Spain, The Netherlands, and the United States of America.

Note: Students who choose the optional specialist stream in Legal Irish will spend year three divided between one semester studying at University of Galway's Gaeltacht campus in An Cheathr
