This is a highly valued degree by employers both in Ireland and in Europe. Language proficiency is increasingly important in the modern business world and this qualification gives graduates a distinctive point of differentiation when seeking employment.
Law with French Law is one of two French Law Courses offered by Sutherland School of Law, the other being the dual degree – the BCL/Maîtrise (more information on the following page). All students interested in the French Law Courses enter the BCL (Law with French Law) in first year. Both degrees offer the exciting opportunity for immersion in two of the world’s major legal systems. Student will learn about the common law system, practised in Ireland and the UK (and in some form, in most of the English-speaking world) and the civil law system which is used throughout Europe.
The BCL (Law with French Law) degree provides students with a qualification in Irish law, while acquiring a broad knowledge of French law and a very high level of competence in French language and French legal terminology. French Law classes are small and students are encouraged to interact throughout thus enhancing their spoken French. On graduation, students may choose to pursue a career in an Irish legal context but this degree will also have given them the opportunity to gain valuable comparative insights, which inform an enhanced critical perspective on Irish law. This degree is four years in duration with third year spent at a leading law school in France.
