New flexible way to study law
From September 2011 we will be introducing a new, more flexible, route to the LLB. This will be ideal if you are studying while working and would find knowledge of law helpful for your career but do not require a Qualifying Law Degree. For more information visit our LLB course pages.
Study independently or attend classes at local institutions
In Hong Kong the majority of our students attend classes at local teaching institutions. We have created a system of recognition for institutions, which operate within our quality assurance framework, to help you in your choice of institution.

Entry qualifications
Undergraduate study
The following qualifications from Hong Kong meet our general entrance requirements for undergraduate study (you may also need to meet additional course-specific entrance criteria):
- Two passes from the Hong Kong Advanced Level Certificate, at grade E or above plus three passes from the Hong Kong Certificate of Education at grade C or above.
- Three passes from the Hong Kong Advanced Level Certificate, with at least a grade E in two of these subjects and a `grade D in one.
- Associate degrees from acceptable institutions.
- Higher Diploma / Certificates from acceptable institutions.
Many other qualifications can be accepted in lieu of O and A levels (e.g. Associate’s degrees) and each application will be considered on an individual basis. We require all applicants to demonstrate a certain level of competence in English. See our ‘Am I qualified?’ page for more information on acceptable qualifications.
The first Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) Examination will be held in 2012 – entry requirements / prerequisites for this award will be published by the University in due course.
Accreditation of prior learning
If you hold a tertiary level qualification (e.g. Associate’s degrees and Diplomas) you
may be eligible to apply for prior learning to be accredited. This means you do not have to study
the part of the degree which covers the same ground as you have already studied, thus allowing
you to complete more quickly.
Postgraduate study
You generally need to hold at least a second class honours degree to be accepted to a postgraduate course. Please visit the course pagess for more information on entrance requirements for your chosen postgraduate programme.
