    Hi all,

    How useful is a UK LLB to Irish students? Also, how much does it cost to get the Irish equivalent of the LLB in Ireland?

    Reg fees of €2,250 x 4 years = €9,000.

    Note: Does not include living expenses, transport, nights on the tear, books, clubs and society membership fees, library fines, sleepness nights prior to exams, etc.

    Cheers for the reply folks. The place I am studying part time do an LLB in two years. I was just trying to figure out if that would be attractive to irish students.

    Not as useful as an irish degree if you want to go to the King's Inns to train to be a barrister.

    The list of degrees recognisable for the inns is here:
    http://www.kingsinns.ie/website/prospective_students/degree/schedule.htm

    The English degrees towards the end of the list are actually awarded by irish institutions (griffith, portobello, independent colleges etc).

    You could of course do an english LL.B. and then do the two year diploma in the inns or alternatively practice in the north or in england and then transfer over but it'd add on a couple of extra years before you could practice in the republic.

    There was a change in relation to English LLB degrees a few years ago. There is now a conversion exam so there is no need to to the Diploma.
    The costs of an LLB quoted above are for a 4 year full time degree. Part time LLB degrees would take less time but have higher annual charges.
