Course overview

Law impacts on all aspects of life today and a law degree such as the LLB provides an excellent basis and training for careers in a wide variety of areas including administration, business, the media and social work.

LLB Graduate

"The flexibility offered by the part-time mode of the LLB programme was central to my decision to study law at NUI Galway. While challenging, the availability of night-time lectures helped me to successfully combine work and study. Attaining the LLB has enhanced my career options by expanding both my legal knowledge and skills base."
