    I have posted this in the LC thread as well as this one because it is relevant to both threads.

    Could anyone tell me what the dif is between corporate law,civil law and law degrees?
    And what is law plus?

    Corporate Law is only in Galway afaik, its more business based, dont think you study subjects such as criminal law

    BCL (Civil Law) and LLB (Law) degrees are the same thing, there is some stupid historic reason for the difference in names. In either of these you study a broad range of law subjects. The website of any university will help you here

    Civil Law is straight law and will qualify you to sit FE-1s or Kings Inns exams straight after graduation.

    Corporate Law in NUIG is an even mix of law subjects and business subjects, and you would have to do a year long LLB after this degree to qualify for some law exams. I think this only applies to the Kings Inns exams but not sure so don't take my word for it.

    Law Plus is the replacement for Law and European Studies in UL. It is a full law degree but you choose other subjects to go with it, which can range from more law, to a language, to history, sociology, etc. This course qualifies you for exams straight from graduation.

    Law and Accounting in UL is very like Corporate Law in terms of subjects involved, but unlike Corporate Law, you don't have to take the LLB after your degree in order to sit exams.

    I stand to be corrected on some of this but that's my understanding of the Irish law courses.
