Law - Human Rights in Criminal Justice - Online

This programme is suitable for anyone interested in studying the inter-relationship between what have traditionally been taught as the two distinct disciplines of human rights and criminal justice.

Applicants must normally have a second class honours degree, grade 2 (2.2) in law or in a relevant social science (Primary degree: Level 8 - National Qualifications Authority of Ireland). In exceptional circumstances an applicant who cannot satisfy the undergraduate requirement may be accepted on the basis of relevant work experience in accordance with UL’s Policy on Recognition of Prior Learning. Applicants with a primary degree in law should apply for the LLM whereas applicants from cognate disciplines to law should apply for the MA. The course structure, elective modules and assessment instruments are the same for LLM and MA students. Applicants with a primary degree in law will be awarded an LL.M., whereas all other applicants will be awarded an M.A. In exceptional circumstances an applicant who cannot satisfy the undergraduate requirement may be accepted on the basis of relevant work experience in accordance with UL’s Policy on Recognition of Prior Learning. Applications from those with practical experience in either field are particularly encouraged.
