The Chinese University of Hong Kong - Faculty of Law

The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme in the Faculty of Law provides a comprehensive legal education that reflects Hong Kong’s unique position as a common law jurisdiction within the broader Chinese context. Truly international in character, our LLB students benefit from the rich expertise of our diverse Faculty with professors drawn from close to twenty jurisdictions spanning Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong SAR, Taiwan and other parts of Asia.

The Faculty of Law is located in the Lee Shau Kee Building, a purpose-built teaching and research facility located in the University’s scenic campus in Shatin, New Territories. The Lee Shau Kee Building features a state of the art moot court, a legal resources centre, lecture theatres, classrooms and breakout rooms, all equipped with excellent information technology systems to support the learning activities of LLB students. Our students also benefit from the Lee Quo Wei Law Library’s extensive collection of legal resources.

CUHK Law students are among the best and the brightest in Hong Kong. Entry to the LLB programme is highly competitive – each year we receive close to 1,500 applications for approximately 80 possible places. Our students have won top prizes in international mooting competitions, graduate scholarships to pursue further research at leading international universities, and training contracts with top international and local law firms.

We expect CUHK Law students to develop not only academic skills and specialised knowledge, but also a strong sense of ethics and responsibility to contribute to the community. CUHK Law students are encouraged to participate in academic exchange and experiential learning opportunities including clinical and pro bono law courses. In addition to their legal studies, students are also encouraged to participate in a wide-range of extracurricular activities including volunteering with social or charitable organisations in Hong Kong.

CUHK Law students have a well-deserved reputation within the Hong Kong legal community for excellence, dedication, and high achievement. We invite you to apply to Hong Kong’s most dynamic and innovative undergraduate law programme.
