Hello everybody!

I'm attending my last year of university. In 8 months I will graduate and I was thinking of doing a LLM in Asia as I'm interested in specializing in international law (taxation, intellectual property or corporation law). I'm also considering studying Chinese law.

I first thought about Hong Kong to do my master but I'm wondering how hard is to get admitted in HKU and other schools of law within the city.

I have studied a degree in Business Administration and also a degree in Law, and my GPA equivalent score is around 3.3 for both. I have also done some summer internships (for instance I worked in some reports for the EU Commission). I speak fluent Spanish, English, intermediate Japanese and some Mandarin Chinese. The problem is, my university is a very small one in Europe, so I'm afraid that would be a con if I try to submit my application to HKU, CityU or Chinese University of Hong Kong...

What do you think? Should I spend my money in a non refundable application fee in those universities?

Thanks to everyone!

You will be fine! Just apply away!

In general, the schools that you are considering will consider you with that GPA. Good luck!

Thank you both for ur replies :)

Hi !
Where do you come from ?
Im applying to HKU for the LLM Corporate and Financial Law. I think theres a high competition in Asia mainly, cuz generally Latin Americans and Europeans are mostly thinking in studying in the US.
However, HKU English requirement is lower than in the UK/US so... I think well be fine. I have good grades also and speak 4 languages and I am learning mandarin (but I dont know if thats quite good thing for HK, cuz they kinda despise mainland chinese).
I have submitted my application, have you ?

If you get a response from your application please inform us. :)
