The BCL/Maîtrise dual degree in UCD Sutherland School of Law is unique in Ireland. The degree is four years in duration, the first two are spent in UCD and the final two at a leading law school in France. The BCL/Maîtrise is aimed at highly motivated and ambitious students. Graduates of the programme are uniquely placed in the employment marketplace due to the exceptional range of legal and linguistic skills that they will have acquired.
The BCL/Maîtrise is one of two French Law Courses offered by Sutherland School of Law, the other being the BCL (Law with French Law) on the previous page. All students interested in the French Law Courses enter the BCL (Law with French Law) degree in first year. Both degrees offer the exciting opportunity for immersion in two of the world’s major legal systems, the common law and the civil law. A deep knowledge of civil law is invaluable to graduates who choose to pursue careers with organisations of the European Union or have ambitions to work in international law firms.
During their first year, students of the BCL (Law with French Law) degree may apply to enter the BCL/Maîtrise in second year.
Places are open to students who have achieved good grades in Level I of BCL (Law with French Law) and are keen to pursue this dual degree option. The major difference between these two degrees is that the BCL Maîtrise allows students to undertake two degrees: a degree in Irish law from UCD and a degree in French law, the Maîtrise en Droit, from either the Université Panthéon-Assas (Paris II) or the Université Toulouse 1 Capitole.
The two years in France correspond to: Year 1: “licence” (L1), Year 2: “Maîtrise” (M1 or “Master 1”) which is considered to be a Masters level course in France.
