What is Business & Law ?
Leading edge business thinking is addressed throughout in the context of best contemporary practice. There is a particular concern to ensure students understand the different dynamics of the modern business world through the use of the most recent and relevant tools in management practice.
The academic foundation in law gained by a successful student should be sufficient to permit him or her to proceed onto the further professional training necessary to enter the legal profession. A graduate will acquire a critical understanding of and approach to the diversity of legal issues in contemporary Irish society and in the international domain- skills useful to a career in law and transferable to employment in a wide variety of business contexts including the public service and the voluntary sector.
