Law

With growing demand worldwide for lawyers qualified in more than one jurisdiction, this four-year double degree programme involves two years of study at UCL and two years at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). This will lead to the award of two Bachelor of Laws degrees – an LLB from UCL and an LLB from HKU.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

The first two years of study are the same as for the three-year LLB degree: four compulsory modules are studied in each year. A compulsory extra-curricular placement at the UCL Centre for Access to Justice will also be undertaken during the first year.

The third and fourth years of study are spent at HKU. In the third year you will study compulsory subjects and in the fourth year you will study a combination of compulsory and elective subjects as well as undertake a vocational internship.

Students enrolled on this programme will not be permitted to transfer to the three-year LLB degree at UCL or the four-year LLB degree at HKU (subject to exceptional circumstances and the approval of the respective institutions).
