The Master of Law in Human Rights at HKU

This opinion is made in respect of the Master of Law in Human Rights programme at HKU only ("Programme"). The Law Department offers its students many opportunities to be involved in extracurricular initiatives. For instance, the academic staff often hire student researchers and the Center for Comparative and Public Law frequently seek volunteers to assist in their seminars and conferences. One of the Programme's most notable opportunities is a grant with Open Society Foundations called the 'rights and governance internship'. The Law Department also has innovative street law and clinic initiatives. Further, many of its academic staff are legal practitioners and integrate anecdotes from their practices in the classroom, which is both interesting and beneficial to the learning environment. The class sizes are intimate and allow for in-depth discussions. The elective selection could be broader (the electives are also subject to last minute changes) and the compulsory courses are not the best-fitted for all students. Since the Programme accepts students without a law degree, it is sometimes difficult to reconcile the different backgrounds and meaningfully begin a legal discussion. Some students are in the Programme for the purpose of getting an 'easy' masters-level law degree. Overall, the Programme is terrific if you are proactive in seeking opportunities to advance your studies and pave a path for your next steps. You can build strong networks. Students entering with a more passive mindset may be disappointed with the experience though.

University Experience

I don't know if it's because I major in Computer Science, but most of the professors who are in charge of the major courses teach very well. They have detailed explanations with step-by-step examples that are easy to learn. The student body is mostly locals and mainlanders but you can definitely find your own niche with international students as well and make friends from India, Indonesia, and Korea. I lived in CWChu College. They had three washing machines and four driers with a balcony where you could dry your clothes below the sun. The machines are usually free if its not near the weekends. The college is quite isolated but I'd say its facilities is one of the best. The food around university is mediocre, but you could eat out once a week and you should be fine. The food won't fit you if you have high standards. The campus is also the best in Hong Kong and the most university-like in terms of scale. The campus is closely intertwined with nature and you can definitely see and feel the greenness well. The buildings are quite old but they serve their purpose. In my opinion, CUHK is a decent university with great professors and students.

University life

This university is really a known place. What I like about the uni is the study space is calm, and the environment is good. The study also taught me very well. What is disliked is it was a lack of communication between one another, but everyone was very kind and genuine.
