Notes
- PTE and Duolingo scores shown are UCD’s general graduate minimums. The W388 programme page publishes higher Reading and Writing thresholds for IELTS and TOEFL, so applicants using PTE or Duolingo should confirm the programme-specific equivalent with UCD.
- English test results must normally be less than two years old. For TOEFL tests taken from January 2026 under the revised 1–6 scale, applicants should confirm the programme-specific equivalent directly with UCD.
Waiver: Not Available
Funding
Scholarships
UCD scholarships and fee support are subject to programme, intake and applicant eligibility. As the W388 route is currently not open to international non-EU applicants, no scholarship should be assumed unless UCD confirms a future eligible intake and issues an offer.
Good to know
Remarks & Additional Information
- UCD currently lists programme code W388 as a January-entry route, but no forthcoming intake is open for application at present.
- The full-time option is currently marked as unavailable to international non-EU applicants. Bangladeshi applicants should obtain written confirmation from UCD before treating this programme as an admission or Irish study visa option.
- This follow-on LLM is delivered in partnership with the Law Society Finuas Network. Its 90 credits comprise 30 credits from the previously completed Diploma, 30 credits from selected modules and a 30-credit dissertation.
