The LLM in Public Law suite of programmes examines emerging and topical issues in public law from a comparative and international perspective. The programmes will be of interest to students who have completed their primary law degree as well as legal practitioners, public servants and others seeking to develop or update their knowledge of public law and legal research skills. Students can pursue an LLM in Public Law or choose to specialise for an award of:
• LLM in Public Law and Criminal Justice, or
• LLM in Public Law and Social Justice, or
• LLM in Public Law and Administration.
The programme aims to provide a solid grounding in the theory, substance and application of public law for future practitioners, academics and policy makers, and gives students a keen understanding of the most pressing issues for public interest litigation in both the state and private sectors. Led by a dynamic team of experts at NUI Galway, with national, European and international teaching and research profiles, students will acquire expertise in their chosen subjects across a range of different areas, with a focus particularly on law reform, social justice, policy and administration. The programme also puts a strong emphasis on research and presentation skills..
