BCL Law
Undergraduate (Level 8 NFQ , Credits 240 )
The new BCL (Law & Chinese Studies) allows you to undertake a degree in Irish law, whilst simultaneously acquiring a broad knowledge of Chinese law and a very high level of competence in Mandarin and Chinese legal terminology. During this degree you will gain comparative insights which inform an enhanced critical perspective on Irish law. The third year is spent at a leading Chinese law school (any scholarships offered by a body external to UCD are beyond our control).
