What will I learn?

Why is this course for me?

The Business & Law (BBL) degree is a popular choice for many students and is extremely well regarded by employers across the legal and financial communities. The degree is a ‘double major’ which means it combines law and business in a single degree, providing an ideal skill-set for the commercial world and offering valuable career flexibility. If you choose this degree, you will undertake business and law modules in equal measure for your first three years in both the UCD Sutherland School of Law and the UCD Quinn School of Business. This allows you to gain a deep understanding of both disciplines while offering you the opportunity to choose in final year which area interests you most for your career progression.

Whether you choose to focus on law or on business, as a BBL graduate you will be uniquely equipped with the analytical and advocacy skills that arise from legal training, combined with the numeracy and financial literacy of a business degree.

Key Fact You will study your business modules at the UCD Quinn School of Business, one of the world’s leading business schools. UCD Quinn is ranked in the top 0.5% of Business Schools globally and has been a triple accredited business school for over 20 years by both AACSB (principal American accreditation) and EQUIS (leading European accreditation). The UCD Quinn School and the Law School are located side-by-side on the UCD Campus
