The Post-Graduate Diploma in Law offers an excellent grounding in law for those looking to prepare for the Law Societys FE-1 entrance examinations to qualify as a solicitor, or to pursue other careers in the public service, regulation, other professional services and sectors requiring comprehensive legal knowledge and analytic skills.
The programme provides students with a deep understanding of the principles and institutional framework of Irish Law. It equips students with high-level reasoning and analytical skills enabling them to solve legal problems in a range of social, commercial and regulatory contexts, and to critically evaluate legal rules and processes.
The Post-Graduate Diploma in Law offers small-class sizes to facilitate interactive learning and provides students with access to a team of expert law lecturers, many of whom have extensive experience of legal practice.
The programme is designed to afford students maximum flexibility in tailoring a law degree to meet their own educational and professional needs. Students take Legal Skills and five additional modules chosen from covering both FE1 subjects and topics at the cutting edge of law and legal systems.
Classes are held, in the main, between 9am and 6pm Monday-Friday with some modules offered in the evening. Timetables allow students to attend classes covering all 8 FE1 subjects from Monday-Wednesday. A sample timetable is available from law@tudublin.ie.
Examinations are held once a year in May. Coursework is set throughout the academic year.
Upon successful completion of the Post-Graduate Diploma in Law, students have the option to move on to complete a further six modules to obtain a Master of Arts in Law (Professional) degree (either through the full-time programme or the part-time programme) or complete a dissertation part-time over one academic year to earn an MA in Law.
This Post-Graduate Diploma in Law is also available on a part-time basis over two academic years. Information about the part-time programme can be found here.
