The programme

Law is taken jointly with one Arts subject for the final two years of the programme. Students can choose from a wide range of Arts subjects including languages and other areas within the humanities and social sciences.

Students receive an excellent grounding in core law subjects, while also retaining the flexibility to customise their own academic path.

Flexibility and choice: BCL students who successfully complete the first year of the programme have the option of transferring into the second year of the LLB programme (MH501).

Students of the BCL (Law and Arts) program from Maynooth University may apply to complete a work placement year in a law firm (subject to availability) or a year studying abroad at one of our international partner institutions.

Career Options

Students interested in a law career will be in a position to take exams for entrance to the Honorable Society of King’s Inns in order to begin training as a barrister and are eligible to progress to take the Law Society of Ireland’s FE1 examinations to begin training as a solicitor.

Studying law also opens up a whole range of career options outside of being a lawyer such as journalism; policy development; business and finance; management consulting; the Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) sector; and national and international public administration (such as at the EU or UN).
The School of Law and Criminology offers a wide range of postgraduate study options from Criminology to International Business Law. Departments offering Arts subjects typically provide postgraduate opportunities at Master’s and Doctoral levels.
