University College Cork, Ireland, announced two new specialist LLM degrees

University College Cork (UCC) Law Faculty announced the launch of two new specialist LLM degrees – the LLM (Health and Care Law) and the LLM (Business Law).

The Director for the LLM in Health and Care Law, Dr Mary Donnelly, says “we are very excited about the launch of this programme which is unique in Ireland, providing the only Masters level specialisation in this important and challenging field. The Law Faculty is delighted to play its part in developing excellent research and teaching in these rapidly evolving areas where UCC already has a very strong reputation. We think that students will appreciate the chance to engage with difficult ethical questions around contemporary topics such as end of life care and reproductive rights while also obtaining essential practical grounding in the ways in which the health and care systems operate in practice. ”

Dr Fidelma White, the Director for the LLM in Business Law says “we are pleased to take this opportunity to build on our strong research and policy record in all areas of business law. We hope to attract a broad range of students, including those who use the law in practice as well as law graduates.”

The new courses commence in September 2013 and the closing date for admissions is August 23, 2013.
