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 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 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 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

We start the first two weeks of the first academic year with a two-week induction programme: Laws' Connections: Legal Doctrine and Contemporary Challenges.  Laws' Connections is designed to be an inspiring introduction to the study of law here at UCL Laws, and to the role of law in addressing social challenges.

The first two years of study are the same as for the three-year LLB degree (with one addition): 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 Year Three you will study compulsory subjects and in Year Four you will study a combination of compulsory and elective subjects.  You will also undertake a legal placement and write a dissertation at HKU.

Please note: students enrolled on this programme will only be permitted to transfer to the three-year LLB degree at UCL or the four-year LLB degree at HKU in exceptional circumstances and with the approval of the respective institutions.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a LLB (Hons) in Bachelor of Law (UCL) and Bachelor of Law (HKU).
