Postgraduate Studies in Law
Pursuing Postgraduate Studies in Law
Graduate studies in law may assist practitioners by broadening their legal education and improving their career prospects, facilitate diversification into other areas of practice or further specialization. Practitioners or academics may be interested in cutting-edge legal issues, and may be interested in researching on an emerging area of interest or controversy. Others may be interested in learning about another legal system.

The Faculty of Law has a diverse range of programmes to meet your academic or professional interest. We offer an intellectually stimulating and collegial environment for your to further your academic pursuit.
For those of you who want to broaden your legal education, we offer a general LLM programme which allows you to choose form a wide range of areas including corporate and financial law, international trade law, Chinese law, information technology and intellectual property law and human rights law. Our courses are taught not only from a common law perspective, but often from a comparative, regional, and international perspective, combining theory and practice issues, offering a broader range of perspectives for our students.
The Faculty also offers a Master of Common Law degree, which is specifically designed for graduates in law from non-common law jurisdictions, particularly Mainland China, who wish to acquire an expertise in common law.
For those who want to focus on a particular area of law rather than broaden their legal education, we have specialist LLM degrees as well as research-intensive MPhil, PhD and SJD programmes.
