Our Dual LLM degree, offered in collaboration with the Catholic University of Lyon (UCLy), provides students with a unique opportunity to conduct advanced study of international business law across two jurisdictions. Students study a set of compulsory modules in Lyon during Semester 1, and in Semester 2 will study their choice of optional modules in Maynooth (including the possibility to apply for the Placement module). All modules on the programme are taught through English. Upon completion of the programme, students will receive the M1 qualification from UCLy and the LLM qualification from Maynooth.
