4 Common Law Degree Programs

The Canadian Common Law specialization offers an in-depth examination of core Canadian common law topics alongside a wide range of elective options. Internationally trained lawyers and law graduates who pursue this specialization benefit from academic and career support to assist in their transition to the Canadian legal marketplace. Core courses are specifically designed to meet the requirements of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada’s National Committee on Accreditation (NCA).

The LLB in Common and Civil Law programme provides an opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s degree in both Common Law (The Irish/UK legal system) and Civil Law (the system used in most mainland European jurisdictions). Graduates can therefore expect to have a wide variety of options open to them upon graduation.

The Common Law Theory and Practice LLM offers a unique blend of theoretical and applied study of the common law. It is designed for both prospective researchers and aspiring legal practitioners, focusing on critical insights into the workings of common law.

The School of Law adheres to the "Law + Technology" training model, and cultivates high-level, international, and interdisciplinary legal talents. The School of Law now provides a Master program of International Law.
