• Applications are invited from graduates holding an excellent degree (at least 2.1)  in Law or Business/Economics - ideally non-law graduates will have taken some law modules and law graduates will have taken some business/economics modules. 

• In exceptional circumstances, substantial professional experience within a related field may be regarded by the selection panel as compensating for a lack of an undergraduate degree to the required standard. Such applicants should state clearly in their application why they feel their other qualifications/experience are appropriate for admission onto the programme.

• Official transcripts must be submitted as proof of examination results by all applicants except graduates of UCD

• Students of UCD applying for the MSc do not need to supply Transcripts, References or give names of Referees

• The personal statement is an important component of the application. It should contain information demonstrating your capability to undertake the course successfully. Thus, you should detail your relevant research and practical experience including any publications and major essays/projects.
