Legal Education at City University of Hong Kong
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.
