Pre-University Law will equip you with a foundation in a wide range of legal concepts along with the administrative skills required in any legal secretarial role. Learn about the importance of law to the operation of business in Ireland and where laws originated.

You will be able to identify, discuss, and apply sources of law including the relevance of EU law. You will explore the nature and structure of the Irish legal system, essential aspects of the law of contract, and the necessary features of the law of negligence.

If the focus of this course for you is in gaining employment in legal administration or as a legal secretary, you will be in demand. Otherwise, you may progress to higher education to study Law or courses where Legal Studies are combined with other subjects.
