Law course (Night)

Nemanrio

How many nights a week is it & why is it a year longer than doing it by day ?

probably because its part time, back when I did my MBA, executive (part time/night time) MBAs were 2 years while my "normal" MBA was 1 year, I'm assuming its a similar story with law. Takes longer to complete course credits part time.

There's an extra year because they don't cover as many hours doing it by night, as they would during the day. I'm not sure what the hours are like but I cant imagine there are too many. Law during the day has very few compared to other courses. About ten hours a week was roughly what we had every year so maybe that could be a guide for you?

theres an extra year because universities use any excuse to add another year to a course in order to get more money from you.

if you look at the uk for instance, you can get an LLB law degree in three years as opposed to four years in ireland.

most degrees can be done on a part time basis but they are arranged as though it requires full time committment when it doesn't. most days you'll find yourself on boards.ie scratching your arse and smelling your fingers

You can even get an LLB from Buckingham University in 2 years - they do run through the summers though!

but it is not a university degree programme
How many Griffith graduates are employed by major law firms or have significant practices at the bar compared to UCC or other law school grads ?
