Master of Laws (LLM) - Batch of 2022

The University of Hong Kong- The place which liberates you.

Tips: Being a student at HKU has been an exceptionally rewarding experience for me. It changed not only my perspective but also allowed me to think critically. It liberated my ideas, and my thoughts and gave me a platform where I could express myself vociferously without any fear. It boosted my confidence by many, many folds. The faculty at HKU is extraordinary, extremely professional and ethical. However, the general masses in Hong Kong could be cold and reserved. Don't expect that you can be friends with many Hong Kongers. You can though find great people from other countries, including Mainland China. I was awarded the Wong Family Scholarship for pursuing LL.M. in Human Rights from the Faculty of Law, The University of Hong Kong, and it covered my entire tuition fees, accommodation and living expenses. The living expenses provided is however quite low, i.e. 3000 HKD only, and sometimes it could be challenging to last for a month properly. On a scale of 1 to 10, I am extremely satisfied with my university as well as the course. Both have proved to be wonderful learning experiences for me. Hong Kong is a splendid city, and you get to do a lot of activities, whether it is hiking with random strangers or visiting beaches.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus is extremely well connected with the rest of the city. The MTR system, along with the bus services makes the modes of public transportation extremely convenient, safe and affordable. The mini-bus rides are a sheer delight. The cabs can however be quite expensive. Every place in Hong Kong is well-connected. I absolutely loved the public transportation in Hong Kong.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Being a Muslim, I found it extremely challenging to find halal options near HKU. Though there are some excellent halal outlets, most of them are located far from HKU and hence, are not easily accessible. The non-halal food available usually costs around 35 to 45 HKD per meal and is affordable. I used to prefer cooking on my own, as I hardly had many options available. If you are a non-Muslim and okay with eating pork, then I must tell you that food in Hong Kong is going to make your stomach as well as your health fit and happy.

Answered 5 years ago

See on the website its specified that a person will be eligible for admission only if the candidate secures at least 90% marks in all his board subjects (of course excluding Hindi in your case), so maybe your physics marks mess up your chances of getting admitted in that particular college. Best o

Is there any course related to computer application in Hong Kong University which does not have engineering in it?

Answered 8 years ago

Hi Utkarsh, are you referring to HKUST? If yes, you can check the B.Sc computer science program structure and see if it interests you. However, when enrolling in this program, you will be required to declare study in another major and also this program retains all of the core computer requirements.
