LLM (Master of Laws)
Trinity College Dublin
Course Overview
Trinity's LLM is the flagship Master's programme of the Trinity School of Law — Ireland's oldest law school, founded in 1740. Sri Lankan lawyers pick from specialisations including International and Comparative Law, International and European Business Law, Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law, or a General LLM with a custom module mix.
Dublin is the only common-law, English-speaking EU capital post-Brexit, which has drawn the European headquarters or regional offices of Arthur Cox, A&L Goodbody, Matheson, McCann FitzGerald, William Fry, and many global firms re-routing EU work from London. The 2-year Third Level Graduate Scheme (Stamp 1G) lets you stay and work in Ireland after the LLM.
