Tuition

HKU SPACE LLB Preparation Courses designed for students taking University of London (Bachelor of Laws) LL.B. examinations and open to all on a first-come-first-served basis.  The tuition package is made up of main and revision lectures, exam skills seminars (tutorials), voluntary take-home assignments (L4 modules) and mock examinations for all compulsory modules.  Lecture courses are taught mostly by leading academics and teachers from major U.K. law schools on a block basis.

Attendance on a specially designed course greatly improves the chances of success in the examinations. Professional accreditation bodies in some jurisdictions may require proof of law degree course attendance for the consideration of admission.

LL.B. degrees are studied not only by students who hope to become lawyers but also by those who feel that a Law qualification would help them in their present profession or who are interested in the modules offered.  We provide preparatory courses for many of the University of London LL.B. modules including all compulsory modules.

Professional Career Progression

Hong Kong

Those students wishing to qualify as lawyers in Hong Kong must complete the P.C.LL. course. From 2008 additional admission requirements have been imposed for the P.C.LL. . Those wishing to apply for P.C.LL. must also have completed an IELTS test within three years of application and should have an overall 7. 

Completion of the University of London LL.B. fulfills most of the Hong Kong P.C.LL. admission Core Subjects requirement.  "Missing" competencies and Top-up Subjects, however, can be acquired via taking the Conversion Exams.  Please note that starting from the academic year 2021/2022, there will be nine Core Subjects required for entry to the P.C.LL. programme, and Criminal Procedure and Civil Procedure will no longer be required as pre-requisites.  For full details, please see https://ple.hku.hk/ and pcea.com.hk.   Students should be mindful of their choices of optional modules if they are working towards a Hong Kong P.C.LL. aligned law degree.

Ms WONG Kar Man

LLB Graduate with First Class Honours (2019)
University of London

It seems like it was yesterday that I attended the programme information seminar at HKU SPACE and decided to enrol in the LLB programme of the University of London. Many of my colleagues working in the Government recommended this programme to me because it is an internationally recognised and well-regarded qualification. It was really an enjoyable experience to study at HKU SPACE because they provided excellent learning support and their visiting lecturers are renowned scholars from the UK.

Being a working mom with two young kids made the already challenging task of completing a law degree an even harder mission. It seemed almost impossible to me. 24 hours a day were not quite enough, so I had to fully utilise every minute of my spare time to study - 30 minutes before work, one-hour lunch break, and 90 minutes after I put my kids to bed. Three hours of study per day was good enough to pave the way for a First Class Honours.

I have to thank my parents and husband for taking care of my kids while I buried myself in my study. I could not have accomplished this mission without their unreserved support. I am also grateful that I had four “study buddies” along the way to make my journey full of vigour and laughter.

Instead of looking at the hundred reasons to quit, look at the thousand reasons not to give up. Looking back, it was all worth it.

Venue

• All Classes are expected to be held on the University of Hong Kong Campus (Pokfulam Road). As the health and safety of our students and teachers is our top priority, if the situation in Hong Kong requires this HKU SPACE reserves the right to move some classes to other locations, including online classes.
