Introduction | Foundational Programme | Dual LLM Programme
With the accession of China to the World Trade Organization, the dynamic growth of the Asian economy and the general impact of commercial globalization, it is increasingly important for lawyers and executives to understand the new rules of doing business in the international marketplace. In order to remain competitive in this fast-paced commercial culture, it is essential to master the relevant legal knowledge, develop useful professional skills and understand the cross-cultural dimensions of international business and legal practice. In response, the School of Law at the City University of Hong Kong has established the GLOBAL GATEWAY® Programme to provide multi-jurisdictional opportunities for legal study to all students in diverse academic communities.
The GLOBAL GATEWAY® offers students the possibility of exchange programme and dual LLM degree from leading international law schools under the auspices of cooperative agreements with City University of Hong Kong. It seeks to serve as the legal educational link between China and the world. The GLOBAL GATEWAY® Programme aspires to provide opportunities for students in Greater China to pursue international legal studies in Hong Kong and overseas. Likewise it seeks to provide opportunities for overseas students to seek postgraduate legal education in Hong Kong and Greater China.
