LLM Hong Kong
Hello,Mon Mar 19, 2007 08:04 AM I am a 30 year old Danish lawyer planning to do a LLM at HKU starting September 2007 (if I hopefully get in). My husband has been offered a job in Hong Kong which we have accepted. And I have always wanted to study (abroad) again. However I have a little son and I am worried about the workload doing a LLM. Studying while having a toddler just is not the same as it used to bee. My question is – how much work is in general expected? (At HKU if anybody knows). Do people work 30, 40, 50 or 60 hours a week? I know it is a very general question but I really need to know how demanding the LLM course will be since I will not put my son’s needs aside and work more than say maximum 40 hours a week. I would be thankful for any advice I get. Best regards |

The LLM at HKU is not too demanding. They give you A LOT of reading materials for each class but the reading is generally not compulsory and many classes are assessed by paper only (no exam). If you need more information e-mail me at w00bf050@gmail.com

LLM Hong Kong
The Hong Kong LLM is considered to be full time if you do it within 2 years but a lot of people do it in one year without too much trouble so you could spread it out a little bit if you are worried about not spending enough time with your son.
