Program overview
The Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Chinese Law is a graduate program for international students who already hold a bachelor's degree in law. Simply put, it upgrades your previous legal knowledge to the Chinese version while equipping you with practical skills. Core courses include Chinese Civil Law, Criminal Law, Commercial Law, Procedural Law, and International Law, with a strong emphasis on case analysis, moot court, and legal writing. A distinctive feature of Chinese law schools is their collaboration with courts and law firms—senior judges and lawyers are invited to teach, and internships are often arranged. This program is ideal for students who want to gain a deep understanding of China's legal system and plan to work in China or in China-related roles. If you're interested in cross-border trade, intellectual property, or international arbitration, this major will be a perfect fit.
