Two students who studied with HKU SPACE for the University of London LLB have received First Class Honours in 2018.  They are the only First Class students in Hong Kong, and among the only three on the graduate-entry LLB worldwide.  Huge Congratulations!

Upon completion of the programme, students should be able to:

- identify key legal issues affecting banking and commercial practices in Hong Kong;
  - gain an updated knowledge on commercial law in Hong Kong and Mainland China; and
- design and implement legal risk management plans to combat commercial crimes and money laundering activities

This flexible top-up Masters course is a small programme admitting a maximum of around 20 students on a first-come first-served basis. This LLM is unique in Hong Kong as it offers students with at least one year’s experience of legal practice a fast route to obtain a higher law degree that may enhance their job prospects. Offered in collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University (Manchester Met), the LLM in Legal Practice is particularly suited to busy working professionals as most parts of the course can be flexibly timetabled to accommodate their work schedules.

The Programme aims to equip students with essential accounting knowledge, educate students on laws, regulations governing business operations & commercial transactions.

Rapid and wide-ranging changes in global financial markets and regulatory environment create a strong demand for people with expertise in both finance and law. This programme aims to emphasize the relationship between law and financial services. It takes an integrated approach to finance and law by including regulation, financial law, corporate finance, venture capital and corporate governance and introduces students to how financial and legal principles are applied in practice. The programme is recognized by the Institute of Paralegals in the UK.

The Graduate Diploma in English and Hong Kong Law/C.P.E. is a very popular—and affordable—route towards legal practice in both Hong Kong and England & Wales. 

This one year top-programme allows students who have passed the C.P.E. exams to quickly obtain a Bachelor of Laws awarded by Manchester Metropolitan University. The course is particularly valuable for anyone thinking of applying for the P.C.LL., since it allows you to complete all remaining law subjects for P.C.LL. entry not covered on the Graduate Diploma in English and Hong Kong Law/C.P.E. The course is also of interest to others seeking to further their legal knowledge or obtain a law degree.

If you have finished the Diploma in Legal Studies, you can enroll on the Advanced Diploma in Legal Studies to further your legal knowledge by studying two compulsory modules (1. Professional Responsibility and Advocacy and 2. Legal Writing and Drafting) and one elective module on Hong Kong law. This course is useful for anyone wishing to know more about law for their career development, as well as those considering training in law.

Studying law is a powerful and proven way to get ahead in your career. On the Certificate in Legal Studies, we built a program designed to give you the best possible start.
