ProfCert Law
Graduate Taught (level 9 nfq, credits 10)
This course has been designed to allow students the opportunity to choose from a wide range of subjects. You will study alongside Masters (LLM) Students and may consider continuing to study the LLM, subject to meeting LLM entry requirements.
Law graduates, or those with a professional legal qualification, can now study LLM courses one at a time, in a flexible manner. You can take individual modules when it suits you while balancing work, career and domestic commitments. You're not tied in to the normal one or two year cycle attributed to Diplomas or Masters Degrees, and you can even take some modules on a week-long, intensive basis, earning CPD points as you go.
You can:
Study individual graduate-level modules
Accumulate credits over a prolonged period of time leading to a certificate, diploma or master's degree
Vision and Values Statement
This 10 credit programme is for professional with either a legal qualification or a qualification or experience in an area of relevance to the subjects they wish to study. It involves completing a single law module available in the Masters' programmes offered by the School.
Students are challenged to think more critically about the social, cultural and political dimensions of the law, as well as the technical aspects of its application.
We strive for a learning environment that encourages students to work individually or as part of a team, so they can develop their own and others' leadership, teamwork and communication skills.
To these ends, the programme makes intensive use of teaching, learning and assessment approaches such as small-group teaching, in-class presentation (individual and group) and academic writing.
Programme Outcomes
1. Demonstrate specialised knowledge and understanding of module taken
2. Apply that knowledge and understanding in diverse environments
3. Communicate, appropriately, to different audiences
