Short Description
The School of Law aspires to be an internationally renowned centre for legal research and teaching in the Asia-Pacific region. The School's mission is to provide students with an excellent education and to contribute to the advancement of knowledge. Through cooperation with other law schools and professional organisations, the School aims to foster an environment in which both students and staff can develop and use their legal knowledge, professional skills and expertise for the benefit of the entire Hong Kong community.
The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme is delivered over four years and emphasises the acquisition and development of wide-ranging legal and intellectual skills. Learning and teaching are interactive and aligned with intended learning outcomes. Students are trained to apply laws and legal principles to solve real-life problems. The LLB programme provides a firm foundation for a career in law and law-related fields, public service and post-graduate studies in Hong Kong and overseas.
Students receive a well-rounded legal education from our staff, all of whom are distinguished teachers and scholars from Hong Kong, the Mainland China, the UK, Australia, India, Malaysia, etc. In addition, students have the opportunity to be taught by visiting faculty from law schools all around the world.
Our LLB programme guides students to develop the skills, knowledge and attitude required to put them within the best and brightest minds applying for jobs in law, business, civil service, banking and other fields.
