LLB

What I particularly enjoyed about studying law at LYIT, was that the classes were relatively small, which led to more interactive and discussion based learning. Students are encouraged to raise questions and also learn to have their views questioned.

I have gained a lot of experience from the amount of practical work provided at LYIT, which is something I do not believe some of the larger universities provide. Moot courts, topical debates, presentations, and interview style exams are some examples of assessments that have helped prepare me for the hands on work in the legal field.

I am now currently working as a contract associate in the Risk Department of a large Financial Company (Pramerica/Prudential)

As the biggest employer in the North West of Ireland partnered with a global Fortune 50 company, Pramerica is always looking for fresh talent. The team here approached LYIT to assess the quality of their legal graduates and, based on the feedback, created a Legal Internship. The course runs from June through to August and has a 100% recruitment rate for LYIT students.

We found LYIT Law students to be knowledgeable team players, who were well equipped to transition seamlessly into a busy international Legal Department. As well as having the requisite ‘text-book’ knowledge of the law, LYIT students participated in extra-curricular activities such as Street Law, which gave them clinical legal experience and an understanding of how the law operates in the ‘real world’ before they even reached Pramerica.

Our interaction with LYIT staff has been fantastic - we view them as true partners, who are evidently committed to student development. We look forward to continuing this partnership with LYIT into the future.
