This degree combines the equal study of two related disciplines, Law and Business, making it particularly attractive for those considering a career in the commercial world. It combines the best elements of the University’s degrees in Business and Management and in Law to ensure students graduate with the maximum range of career options, both in Law and in Business and Management.

The defining feature of this degree is the skill-set which it provides students; you will enhance your employability by developing your faculties for argument and reasoning, for clear thinking, for the analysis of complicated ideas and for understanding the commercial context in which the law operates.

Why choose this degree?

• This law degree is accredited by the Honorable Society of King’s Inns.
• Law and Business students at Maynooth are offered unparalleled flexibility and choice. Students have (subject to availability) the option of taking a four year degree with a work placement or study year abroad (subject to availability), thus combining what you learn in university with insights into industry (legal or commercial) or another culture. Students who successfully complete 1st year also have the option of transferring into the 2nd year of the LLB degree (MH501).
• The BCL is a three-year degree in law combined with one other subject, in this case Business. While the BCL covers all the core modules of law, you cover less law than on the LLB (MH501), giving you more time to develop expertise in business. The main advantage is that it allows you to combine the study of law with learning in business. This combination is ideal for those who may wish to run their own practice, to work in a setting where law is applied, to work in a business itself, or to practice commercial law.
• Business and Management are the practical art, science, and craft of achieving change and getting things done through and with people. This degree provides you with insights into the core functions of Business and Management and how they interact to create value for and capture value from clients and customers.
