Distance Learning Options

    Good Evening,

    I am currently researching the law industry in Ireland and options available to me.

    I am currently in another profession (flying) which involves roster patterns that make even part-time courses all most impossible.

    Looking for any advice or suggestions and if someone else has studied law while continuing their current job I would be interested to hear how they found the process.

    I have come across several courses at this stage but the information seems to be conflicting. The Open University offers a course but it is a UK course and as I understand it that makes it of little use in Ireland? Unfortunately the UK colleges seem to be the only ones offering a good selection of distance learning courses.

    Irish Law and English Law (note English rather than UK - padantic but Scottish law can be quite different) are very similar. The OU is also a great way to learn, although you're not going to benefit for the mooting / discussion elements of doing the course at say the Kings Inns Part Time. The OU's feedback and online systems are second to none - or at least they were in the business school.

    If you're thinking of doing something along the lines of avaition law you're probably end up in the UK or Europe somewhere to do any postgrad work anyway. The UK, US, Canada, Auz and NZ are all common law jusisdictions so the basic degree would be somewhat portable within that.

    As far as I can remember the OU Law degree does allow you to take the entrance exams to The Kings Inns but check with them.
