I am a program manager for the extension school of a major Asian university- I would like to know if there would be an interest in a hybrid/ online LLM (China law) program 6-8 subjects (2-3 core courses) + electives with a partner institution.
The program might be called Executive LLM in China Law- Executive (as it will be open to students with a non-legal background)
Students can take classes either online or offline or mix modes.
Would there be sufficient interest in an online China focused LLM
Any suggestions as to the courses?
Would students feel comfortable with an online LLM
Would students prefer an online LLM in BRIC law / Asian business law etc
Costs
All suggestions welcome.

Yes. I think there would be an interest. The real question is how in depth can it be for non-Mandarin speakers who won't be able to read primary legal sources. There are enough
some considerations:
1) Is the LLM from a law school?
2) will there be concentrations in a specific topic?
3) How much will be on-line and how much face to face?
4) how will it be structured? live video, recordings, online chat?
5) How will it be assessed?
6) What will the ultimate value to the student be? employment, cache' , academic interest?
7) If the course will not be in-depth, is there the possibility of doing a broader pan-Asian law programme?
8) Is it more attractive to students if the LLM was limited to those with a undergraduate law degree?
Presumably you are aware of the limited numbers of distance learning LLM with an Asia focus.
Please feel fee to PM me if I can be of help or if you have more questions. Good luck.
I am an attorney with licenses in US and Enland and wales and have been looking for a good LLM by distance learning.

I like that England offers a non-JD/non-LLB version of the LLM unlike the USA which is stuck in tradition. If your program will be similar to the England LLM's, go for it!

Thank you very much for your comments,
Yes the LLM is intended for a wider scope of students (hence we welcome students with work experience, from a non-legal background)
1) Is the LLM from a law school?
We will partner with a law school from China, or elsewhere.
2) will there be concentrations in a specific topic?
depends on the resources but currently it is interested to be a china focused LLM (by China that might mean Macao, HK and mainland China)
3) How much will be on-line and how much face to face?
All the classes should be offline and recorded for online consumption.
4) how will it be structured? live video, recordings, online chat?
due to the time difference, and we intend the LLM to be opened globally, it will be recordings, supported by an online learning system.
5) How will it be assessed?
Depends on the course, online quiz, assignments, video presentations, proctored exams are all options.
6) What will the ultimate value to the student be? employment, cache' , academic interest?
Personal fulfillment, intellectual curiosity, better job/career prospects. (depending on the subjective motivation of individual students)
7) If the course will not be in-depth, is there the possibility of doing a broader pan-Asian law programme?
I was thinking of a program in law from BRIC countries, but partnering with 3-4 institutions, the logistics of it all, cost/profit sharing will be quite challenging. Hence for now, we are thinking of a greater China focused program.
8) Is it more attractive to students if the LLM was limited to those with a undergraduate law degree?
I am not sure whether that would be something that a law student will consider.
I hope I haven't missed anything, thank you very much for your feedback.
