LLM in European and Comparative Law
University of Limerick, Ireland
The LLM in European and
Comparative Law programme is both broad and deep. Over one year of
full-time enrolment or two years of part-time enrolment, it combines education
on the legal traditions that touch every corner of the globe with focused
instruction on the laws and legal systems of Europe and North America
(especially Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the
United States).

Through taught core and elective
modules, our expert faculty provides an advanced, well-rounded international
legal education. Each of the classes offered—in civil obligations (contract and
tort), competition law, criminal law and procedure, property law, and public
law—places its subject in comparative, transnational context. Indeed, students
will better understand their own traditions by placing them in this global
setting. Students will also complete a substantial dissertation on a topic of
their choice. As a result, the programme develops expertise in a wide-range of
subjects and transferable skills in legal research, analysis and logical
reasoning, oral and written communication, and organisation and teamwork.
Our graduates will be very attractive
to employers not only throughout Europe—including the institutions of the
European Union and the Council of Europe—and North America, but around the
world. The programme’s balanced, comprehensive curriculum ensures that
graduates bring added value to both employers and clients. This is true whether
they wish to be a practising solicitor or barrister or seek employment in
academia, governmental agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), or
private industry.
