MA in Law (Professional)

Program Available at DIT Aungier St Campus

The Master of Arts in Law (Professional) is a post-graduate law degree providing a pathway to both branches of the legal profession. It also offers a firm grounding in law for those wishing to pursue careers in public service, regulation, professional services and other sectors requiring comprehensive legal knowledge and analytical skills.

The program aims to provide students with a deep understanding of the institutional framework and principles of Irish Law, enabling them to apply and critically evaluate legal rules and processes. Students will learn how to draw upon legal sources to propose novel solutions to a range of regulatory difficulties and thus develop high-level reasoning and analytical skills. They will acquire advocacy and policy development skills through engagement with a range of social, commercial and regulatory issues at a national and EU level.

All core professional subjects including those examined by both the Law Society and King’s Inn's entrance examinations are offered on the program, which is an accredited law degree for the purposes of King’s Inns admission.

The program is offered on a modular basis; students must take Legal Skills in their first year of registration but can choose their remaining modules from the full suite offered.
