We followed up with some past & current students to see what a difference their Law course at Griffith College has made to them.

Law Student Testimonial

Completing my Law LLB has been an incredible journey, and I am so grateful for all the support I've received along the way. I want to thank Stephen, the Faculty Director, for always being supportive and attentive whenever any issues arose. My heartfelt appreciation also goes to Yazmeen and John, my favourite lecturers, for their depth of knowledge and ability to ensure every student truly grasped the material. The FLAC Society was also an invaluable part of my experience, providing practical insights and helping me discover my passion for immigration law. I'm thrilled to be finishing the course with an internship and a full-time offer at an immigration law firm! Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

It is without reservation that I recommend studying law at Griffith College Dublin. Every student receives personal and group engagement throughout the course. With expert lecturers in a collegiate setting, each student has the time and space to listen, ask questions and take an active part in the college during their studies.

If you wish to immerse yourself in the academia of law in an encouraging and stimulating environment, I urge you to seriously consider enrolling in Griffith College Dublin.

The smaller class groups on the DLSP made getting to know people quite easy and the mix of personalities always made classroom debates more interesting. There are also great opportunities for extracurricular activities from the FLAC Society and the Law Society to the Brehon Law Society. These groups allow you to meet and interact with other Law students. This course has not only allowed me to make some professional contacts but I have also made some very good friends.

Now to look forward to my LLB (Hons)!

Conal Dolan Diploma in Legal Studies and Practice
Laura Cronin DLSP

The best advice I could offer anyone contemplating doing the Diploma in Legal Studies and Practice course in Griffith College is “DO IT!!”.  It will be the best decision you make, it certainly was mine.  Having worked as a Legal Secretary for many years in medical negligence, it was great to get to touch on so many different aspects of Law, and the modules were so much more in depth than I had anticipated.  The Lecturers are fantastic, always available to help or discuss matters with you.  

Laura Cronin, Diploma in Legal Studies and Practice
Law graduate

I was drawn to Law at Griffith College because of the small class sizes, stimulating active participation and discussion with fellow students and lecturers from a diverse range of backgrounds. During the LLB, I competed in The Irish Times Debate Competition, the National Moot Court Competition, and the National Negotiation Competition and was selected for the Chief Justice Summer Internship Programme. I believe that my engagement in extra-curricular activities, combined with the skillset and knowledge I developed through the course, significantly enhanced my career progression.

Helen Hewson LL.B. (Hons)
Law graduate

I selected Griffith College for my studies because I wanted to attend a small institution that allowed for greater engagement with lecturers and fellow students while providing an intellectually stimulating environment. The structure of the LLM programme allowed me to interrogate the legal and political challenges facing nation-states today. It also allowed me to explore a lifelong interest of mine, animal welfare, within the context of international legal mechanisms. Prior to pursuing my Master's degree, I was uncertain as to whether or not I wished to continue being a practitioner of the law however I discovered a genuine appreciation for international legal systems.
