Maynooth University Department of Law and the Catholic University of Lyon have strong relationships with law firms, regulatory agencies, businesses, and international organisations. Certain modules on the programme are run in partnership with leading law firms, offering students the opportunity to apply work placements at the end of their studies. Candidates will also have the opportunity to apply for internships and to attend recruitment presentations by prospective employers.
The LLM (International Business Law) is highly regarded by employers and many of our graduates have begun to carve out successful careers, both domestically and internationally. As part of the programme, students are given extensive exposure to legal practitioners and officials of trade missions and international organisations. The programme develops legal research, reasoning, writing, advocacy, and teamwork skills, which are highly sought after by employers. The unique perspectives offered by the programme will be relevant to those seeking to work in the increasingly internationalised field of commercial legal practice, as well as those seeking careers in areas like financial services and business.
