1st class success for Dr Chong Yeow Kuan at HKU SPACE

World Class Scholars from the UK.

"Obtaining the Bachelor of Laws with first class honours marks the end of my three happy years at HKU SPACE and the University of London. Three years back, what I wished almost amounts to eating your cake and have it too: a good law degree, done part-time, while working full-time in a public hospital. I chose the University of London programme because it is well-recognised worldwide yet the learning arrangements are flexible to fit into my schedule; and HKU SPACE because here, I get taught by world class scholars from the UK.

To me, the key in getting good results throughout the LLB is to study algorithmically: pre-lecture reading, intensive note-taking, and extensive, but goal-directed reading, are the three tools I stick with during these years. While not aiming to pursue further vocational studies yet, the programme empowered me with the ability to think and reason like a lawyer, as well as a broad base of legal knowledge from which I can approach problems in real life.

In closing, I wish to thank all of my family members for their tolerance during my years of studies, and professors teaching at HKU SPACE for their guidance. In particular, I wish to thank Professor Catharine Macmillan and Mr Chris Riley for their inspiring lectures."
