Law launches specialist LLM degrees

9 Jul 2013

UCC Law Faculty is delighted to announce the launch of two new specialist LLM degrees – the LLM (Health and Care Law) and the LLM (Business Law). 

These new programmes build on the Law Faculty’s well-established reputation in these areas and offer students a chance for study with Faculty members with a wide range of academic, policy development and practice-based experience. Like the other specialist programmes offered, these programmes emphasise targeted skills development aimed at developing all aspects of students’ competencies in these fields. 

The Programme Director for the LLM (Health and Care Law), Dr Mary Donnelly, says “We are very excited about the launch of this programme which is unique in Ireland, providing the only Masters level specialisation in this important and challenging field. The Law Faculty is delighted to play its part in developing excellent research and teaching in these rapidly evolving areas where UCC already has a very strong reputation.  We think that students will appreciate the chance to engage with difficult ethical questions around contemporary topics such as end of life care and reproductive rights while also obtaining essential practical grounding in the ways in which the health and care systems operate in practice”. 

Dr Fidelma White, the Programme Director for the LLM (Business Law) comments “We are pleased to take this opportunity to build on our strong research and policy record in all areas of business law.  We hope to attract a broad range of students, including those who use the law in practice as well as law graduates”.

The new programmes commence in September 2013 and the closing date for admissions is 23 August.  For further information, contact +353 (0)21 490 3995/420 5170 | E: lawpostgrad@ucc.ie or see www.ucc.ie/en/law-postgrad/
