City University of Hong Kong School of Law and The University of Melbourne launch Collaborative Degree Programme

The CityUHK School of Law has established two collaborative degree programmes with The University of Melbourne to offer the CityUHK JD/ Melbourne Law Masters and CityUHK LLB/ Melbourne Law Masters.

These collaborative programmes are a testimony to the School’s strong global alliances and provide our students with a global and multidisciplinary education, expanding their horizons and enhancing their marketability in an increasingly interconnected world.  Students will graduate with degrees from both CityUHK and The University of Melbourne, giving them a competitive advantage in the job market with two distinguished qualifications. The programmes also expose students to different legal systems, cultures and learning approaches, enabling them to develop a broader and global perspective. With a proper planning, the JD/ Law Masters can be completed in three years of full-time study while the LLB/ Law Masters may be completed in four years.

It is expected that the first cohort of students will be able to enroll in the Melbourne Law Masters in the academic year 2024/25.
