Land Law and Succession 1

Certificate in Land Law and Succession 1

The course has been designed to introduce students to the historic and contemporary influences on Irish land law and the fundamental principles underpinning different categories of land ownership in Ireland. Students will gain an understanding of the origins of land law (including the role of equity) and its continuing impact on the concept of land ownership. On completion of the course, graduates will be able to distinguish between the different types of land ownership and explain the rights and obligations involved in each case and understand the systems of property registration in Ireland and the importance of these systems to the recognition and enforceability of rights and interests in or over land. Learners will develop the capability to critically analyse the law and employ knowledge and understanding in solving relevant problems and research aspects of land and succession law either independently or as part of a group and communicate findings and proposals in written and/or verbal form. The programme is assessed via continuous assessment.
