    was planning on heading to the open day tomorrow but seeing as it is now cancelled, I'm kind of stuck for actual information on the course

    Anyone want to inform me of the details, hours, different modules and the like.. there isn't much on the website:(

    Modules are listed on the page, click on them for more information(so much for not much on the site). As for hours, it's a law/business degree, i'd guiess about 12

    I think it's a bit more than twelve, I'm in pure law and we have 12/10 hours every other week. I think for law and business it's about 18 or so.

    Thanks first of all. I was wondering though, does doing a law degree with a minor or possible joint major put you at a great disadvantage to the pure law students? Does this course just do the core law modules while pure law does optional and core modules? I'm just confused as to how useful this degree would actually be?

    I can list the law modules pure law students do and compare them with the law and business ones for you now. :) Only know about the first two years though, I'll ask some of my friends whenever I'm back in college and PM you with more details if you'd like!

    So this year (first year) I do:
    Semester 1:
    -Torts (law and business also do this)
    -Irish Legal System (law and business also do this)
    -Constitutional Law I (law and business do this in second year)
    Semester 2:
    -Contract (law and business do this)
    -Criminal (law and business do this in second year)
    -Legislation and Statutory Regulation (law and business don't do this)


    Second year for me:
    Semester 1:
    -Constitutional Law II (option in 3rd/4th year for law and business, if you do this you don't have to do Administrative Law as the requirement is satisfied by this module)
    Equity (option in 3rd/4th year for law and business, required by professional bodies I think)
    Land Law (law and business do this)
    Semester 2
    -Administrative Law (option for law and business in 3rd/4th year I think, required by professional bodies)
    -Private Law Remedies (law and business don't do this)
    -EU Law (option for law and business in 3rd/4th year, required by professional bodies AFAIK)

    Sorry that's so bitsy, it's a bit complicated. :p Obviously with pure law you've a much broader choice of modules but if you pick the right ones, you can go on to train as a barrister or a solicitor straightaway after the law and business programme. And apparently in third year they let you know what modules are required, they change every so often. Hope that clarified things rather than muddled them :o Any questions about the law side of things, feel free to PM me :)
