So, before hearing this people I was very excited to go to learn chinese law but now I'm afraid that when I finish I can't work in/for the China. Obviously these are only opinions, advises that they have given me. And you, why do you want to study chinese law? Where do you live? Forgive me, I didn't present myself: my name is Federico and I live in Modena, Italy

(you know the gce A level). In short, I've been studying manadrin for 13 years now. Thus, I don't want to drop my mandarin. I want to do chinese law, may be contract law. So that I can do the contract in english, french and Mandarin.I heard that this law is of great demand. hey, dont ever let people influence you. I dont think that they are going to study for you, they ain't going to help you. If you want to study chinese law do it. You can afterwards look for jobs dealing with foreigners, or italian themselves.

Me, I don't know chinese and, even if I wanted to study, I take too much time to learn well. Infact I thought at HKU me too especially CUHK (LLM in chinese business law) because the city is closer to the english language. Or in these recent times I saw another interesting LLM in International Business law at NUS.During this master you study for 2 months at NUS and the rest of the year at ECUPL of Shanghai.. It seems perfect for me. But if I was you, I'd go to BeiDa because it's the best university of China and the best place to get friendships for the career.

elisa2 Joined: 07 Nov 2007 Posts: 9	application Sat Dec 01, 2007 03:05 PM yes you are right. But I will apply to several universities. I will send my application to HKU and to Beida. If you think that it is the best way for you, do it. Hku is closer to english than Beida. Hongkong is used to the British law than China. then what is your plan? NUS?

michaelcorleone Joined: 17 Sep 2006 Posts: 173	application Sat Dec 01, 2007 03:47 PM Elisa -- please note that the site that fedefra pointed out to you is the English language LL.M. program. If you want to take the Chinese language LL.M. program in 北京大学, try this link: www.law.pku.edu.cn/ Fedefra -- the English language LL.M. program in Peking University is in the English language. :) However, Chinese law is passed in Chinese language. Translations are now available in English, but those translations are, as my professor mentioned, not official, and are written by academe and law firms, not by the government. So even if you take the LL.M. in Uni of HK (which, admittedly, might have professors who speak better English), you still run into the same problem when you need to practice Chinese law already. The option you mentioned, NUS LL.M. in International Business Law, doesn't really focus on Chinese law, but focuses on International Business Law courses. I do know that they have an elective on Chinese Company Law, but I don't know how extensive their elective offerings are on other Chinese law subjects. Hope this helps, Elisa and Fedefra.

But from what I've seen, English speakers are usually able to find jobs in China. As I said, English translations of law are available, and chances are, you'll be advising foreign investors (who want to invest in China) using those translations. I suppose even the Chinese use them, in advising foreign investors. But knowing Chinese language will definitely be a huge plus.

As shockresist said it earlier, there is course in english. If you want to chinese law, do it. You can first do the LLB in english, and the 2nd step is towards the chinese law with the translation as a plus. Hey you are lucky to born in Modena, city oof ferrari and Balsamic vinegar huh. then why do you want to leave this magnificent place?

Then if they will accept me, I'll decide. I want to apply to a master far from Italy because I want to do this wonderful experience and because I hope it will increase my knowledge about laws even if I think I'm lucky to live here.

I want to apply to Beida too, I've already sent my application to HKU for the moment.Well I think I made a mistake, the website does not suit me. I have not yet done the LLB. I just graduated from High school. You are right, I want to fly far from my country too, the university abroad is a great experience.

I am from Australia and don't have much idea of how good the program is, its reputation (considered by local, HK and also Western standards), and what the courses are exactly like. Also I'm not sure how it stacks up to Beida's program. Can someone please provide some clarity around this? Would appreciate any and all of your insights as I am one confused person! Sorry if you noticed this post in multiple topics since I wasn't sure which one people look at the most. Cheers
