Legal Education at City University of Hong Kong
Universities I Colleges I Schools I Private Training I English Schools
The practice of law is undergoing a significant transformation. Lawyers need to prepare themselves for this change. The School of Law at City University of Hong Kong has the right programmes to prepare you for your future.
Undergraduate Programmes
With continuous funding from the Government, the ALS is designed for employees in law offices or in law-related employment to enhance their legal knowledge.
The LLB, offered in both full-time and part-time modes, prepares students for a career in law and other professional fields.
Postgraduate Programmes
The JD offers those who have a first degree in other disciplines a fast track route for entry to the legal profession. It is also an ideal degree for leaders in non-law disciplines.
The Global Gateway LLM (Fast-track Mode) programme may be completed in one year. Flexibility in scheduling exists to extend your study beyond one year. The LLM (Regular Mode) programme may be completed in one year to two years. The MAArbDR programme can be completed between 1 year (fast-track evening) and 2˝ years (part-time evening).
The PCLL qualifies graduates to enter legal practice as trainee solicitors or pupil barristers. The PCLL is offered full-time over one year and part-time over two years.
The JSD provides an opportunity for students who wish to pursue higher studies in law in Hong Kong. Graduates can use the abbreviation “Dr” before their names.
Except the full-time JD and full-time PCLL, our taught postgraduate programmes are taught in the evening and Saturday afternoon.
Application of taught programmes for 2006 entry will commence (except the LLM Renmin University) in early January 2006. Please visit the website www.cityu.edu.hk/prospectus to apply on line or obtain application materials nearer the time.
