Experience legal education at CUHK, a leading law school in Asia with a strong international and comparative focus

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is a leading comprehensive research university.  CUHK offers undergraduate and postgraduate level courses under the faculties of Arts, Business Administration, Education, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Science, and Social Science.  Many of these courses are open to exchange students.  Past exchange students from U of T have taken courses related to Economics, Finance, and East Asian Studies at CUHK.

Living on-campus allows students to experience local student life and culture, and make new friends.  The residential halls, which are called hostels have wardens and residence tutors to oversee students’ physical and mental well-being and provide necessary support to residents. The tutors will also organize resident-association activities such as dinners, games and other gatherings to bring students together.  Most rooms are shared, many accommodating two to a room, although some can house up to four.

Semester Dates

Fall semester runs from September to December each year

Credits

12 to 15 CUHK credits (= 4 or 5 courses at 3 credits each). Students taking courses within this range will be considered to have completed the equivalent of 14 U of T law credits
