The LLM in European Law is a one year full-time or two year part-time masters programme offered by DCUs School of Law and Government.
We welcome applicants from Ireland, the EU and the wider world who are interested in both the theory and practice of policing; criminology, crime analysis and criminal procedure; and contemporary national, regional and global security issues.
The programme is the first of its kind in Ireland and will draw on the research expertise of staff within the School of Law and Government to create a vibrant, engaging and transformative learning experience for students.
DCU is committed to preparing students for an unscripted future in the 21st century and this programme is designed to enable students to become adaptable and outward-looking critical thinkers.
The LLM in European Law has been carefully devised to give students both significant breadth and depth of knowledge on matters relating to policing, criminal behaviour, security studies and responses to terrorism (see the structure section for programme structure and module choice).
