In addition to the general requirements of the Graduate School, applicants should have:
a qualification to practise law in the jurisdiction of the student’s residence; or
a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree or a degree of equivalent standing; or
a Bachelor’s degree in a non-law subject with substantial law-related working experience.
As many areas of professional activity are related to law, we welcome applications from applicants who work in the areas of commerce, accountancy, social work, public administration, and similar relevant fields.
Applicants whose undergraduate studies were not conducted and assessed in English are required to take an appropriate English language proficiency test and to achieve a sufficient score, such as a score of 570 or above in TOEFL (Paper Based Test), 88 or above in TOEFL (Internet Based Test); Band 6.5 or better in IELTS; or equivalent. The test results must be obtained not more than two years prior to the date of applying to join the LLM Programme.
The programme is supported by the UGC’s Hong Kong Future Talents Scholarship Scheme for Advanced Studies for the 2025–26 and 2026-27 intakes for selected local students. Please refer to the Hong Kong Future Talents Scholarship Scheme for Advanced Studies for more details.
