Overview

This unique HKU-UCL Dual Degree in Law Programme enables selected students to study in two of the world’s key global financial centres, London and Hong Kong, and to gain insight into the legal systems of two important common law jurisdictions – one as the origin of the common law with easy access to Europe, and the other in an important hub of legal education in Asia that benefits from the rapidly growing economy of China.

Students will spend the first two years at UCL and the following two years at The University of Hong Kong. It provides a unique experience to live in two different cultures and offers a wide diversity of opportunities. Upon graduation, they would be eligible to pursue further professional qualifications that would eventually enable them to qualify as legal practitioners in both jurisdictions.
