Profile
The Law & Human Rights program is an innovative and unique program—the first of its kind in Ireland. It offers students the opportunity to combine a full undergraduate law program with the study of human rights. Students in the program will be challenged and engaged by a rich curriculum of core and optional law modules. Students will be trained in key legal skills such as written and oral advocacy, and they will be educated in the principles, theories, and doctrines of human rights law and practice. The School of Law and the Irish Centre for Human Rights at NUI Galway are pioneers in legal education and research on human rights. Students will have access to world-leading researchers, writers, and lecturers in human rights at the Irish Centre for Human Rights.
Every student is given the opportunity to work on placement or study abroad. Work placement in a leading law firm, a corporate firm, or a public sector organization exposes students to the application of the law, which will supplement academic legal education with practical exposure. Studying abroad at partner institutions around the world provides students with experience of legal education in an international setting and a different perspective on the law. Students on this degree will be able to take French or German as part of their degree. These language options demonstrate the School of Law’s commitment to ensuring that graduates will be prepared for the globalized nature of law in the twenty-first century.
