The LLM (International Business Law) is a dual masters degree offered by Maynooth University Department of Law and the Catholic University of Lyon (UCLy). The programme will enable law graduates to further their legal education by gaining a systematic understanding of the critical issues at the forefront of select areas of international business law.
The first semester (comprised entirely of mandatory modules) of this programme is taught in Lyon. During the second semester in Maynooth, students choose from a range of optional modules. Certain modules on the programme are run in partnership with leading law firms, offering students the opportunity to apply for work placements at the end of their studies. Students must complete a dissertation during the summer, which can be supervised by either University.
For the coming year 2015-2016 we have introduced several new optional modules to the LLM (International Business Law).
We have also introduced a new separate track to the LLM in International Business Law. In addition to having the option of completing the dual programme, the first semester of which is spent at the Catholic University of Lyon, students will now also have the option of spending the entire year at Maynooth.
The course structures can be viewed at this link.
Students completing the dual track may be eligible to apply for ERASMUS funding in respect of this programme.
