How to become a Lawyer in Hong Kong? An Admissions Talk for Postgraduate Courses in Law by University of Law
In the Seminar, admissions representative from the University of Law will introduce their postgraduate courses in law, in order to help students and parents understand how students can qualify as a lawyer in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, and explain how different courses may be better for students in different career stages.
- An overview of postgraduate courses in Law:
Admission representative from the University of Law will provide details about the following postgraduate courses, covering areas such as course structure, entry requirements, tuition fees, study locations and the steps it takes after the course to qualify as a lawyer.
- Yes – it’s possible for a non-law degree graduate to become a lawyer! Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) and Master of Arts in Law (MA Law)
Tailored for graduates with a non-law degree, the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) covers essential core modules in law, enabling non-law graduates to pursue professional qualifications to qualify as a lawyer. After the GDL, graduates can follow the British training route and progress onto a Legal Practice Course (LPC) or a Bar Practice Course (BPC), and register as a UK lawyer after completing a training contract with a law firm; if they’d like to follow Hong Kong’s training route, graduates can do so as they will be eligible to apply to the PCLL after passing PCLL Conversion Exams. - Are you a law degree graduate, looking to train as a lawyer in the UK? Legal Practice Course (LPC) and Bar Practice Course (BPC)
The UK’s equivalent to the PCLL in Hong Kong, LPC and BPC are the essential postgraduate training courses for UK’s solicitors and barristers respectively. After the LPC and BPC, graduates have to complete a training contract with a law firm, before they can register as a UK lawyer. How can students increase their chances in securing a training contract? Can students undertake their training contract in Hong Kong? Admissions representative from the University of Law will answer these and other frequently asked questions in the talk!
- Why will the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) affect prospective students?
Under new regulations (to be implemented in September 2021), students who would like to become a Solicitor in the UK will have to pass the brand new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) (respective but smaller changes to the training route for Barristers were introduced in 2020). Students starting their law degrees will in theory be eligible for both new and existing training routes*, but it’s expected that the new route will become the most common practice in a few years’ time. In this section, the admissions representative will provide an overview of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) and detail of the transitional arrangement.* The transitional arrangement is open to students who have completed, started or accepted an offer of a place on a specific law programme (LLB (Hons), GDL or MA Law)
- Coming back to Hong Kong to practise: Can a UK lawyer practise law in Hong Kong?
After a long and demanding journey to qualify as a UK lawyer, will students be able to practise as a lawyer in Hong Kong? What does it take to become a Hong Kong lawyer? Will the status as a UK lawyer offer advantages in a legal career in Hong Kong? - How does a Distance Learning course work? How much time per week does it usually require, for a working adult taking a part-time distance learning course?
The GDL, LPC and LLB (Hons) in the University of Law all offer a distance learning mode of study (available as a full-time and part-time course). How does the arrangement work in practice, in terms of class delivery, learning resources, exams and assessment? How much time should a working adult taking a part-time course expect to devote to the their studies? Is there any extra support from the University for distance learning students? - Student story sharing: Becoming a lawyer is only one of many career outcomes!
In the past, many students doing a postgraduate course with the University of Law (especially part-time students doing a distance learning course) aren’t really looking for a career change into the legal profession. Instead many find that good knowledge in law helps advance their career in other industries! In this section, admissions representative from the University of Law will share some of these student stories, to show that becoming a lawyer is only one of many career outcomes!
Details of Event: How can I Watch the Talk from Home?
The admissions talk will also be delivered via Zoom. Students and parents can watch the talk in our office and meet with our education consultants and the university representative right after the talk. Alternatively, you can also choose to watch the talk in the comfort of your own home.
