CUHK vs Durham (LLB)

daisychan

小女兒 IB 取 41/45，之前 Durham LLB 已取錄她，但上星期五突然收到 CUHK email (之前無叫她 interview)，俾 LLB offer 佢，還有 $21,000 scholarship.

想請教大家意見，因 CUHK LLB 比較新。另外，她有報 HKU LLB 和 Govt&Law，未有 interview，請問大家知唔知 HKU 那邊收生情況？謝謝!

小女亦是讀IB, 不自量力亦已 CU LLB 為目標, 請問可否告知令千金IB 是甚麼科目, 那些科目是 HL呢 ? 各科成績又如何 ? 聽說中大比較看重 IGCSE 的成绩是嗎?  唯望不吝赐教,先行在此謝過, (  若 不方便公開,可否 pm 我,謝謝 )

If your daughter want to pursue her future career as solicitor or bar in HK, better study LLB in HK (be that is CU/HKU/CityU). Cause better chance to secure PCLL place.

如果world ranking 應該是 HKU -- Durham  --CU, 但香港讀就不用再報考PCLL conversion.  至於PCLL機會, 都是一樣, 只有一半機會. even HKU, CU, City U

Despite the disadvantage on PCLL, international law firms prefer UK graduates over local. It is what told by my friend working in an international law firm in HK. Durham is a strong UK law school.

Yes，Durham ranks No. 3 ，just after Oxford and Cambridge.Since it is not near London， many HK parents are not familiar with it. It is really famous in UK and among the law professionals.

個人意見：Durham, 小朋友有機會見識下外面世界，跟不同國籍高手學生交流，相信眼光會不一樣。不用不擔心PCLL問題，在Durham讀得好一樣有機會，朋友兒子將入讀CU PCLL, 他在英國的大學排名不及Durham

My friend's daughter is in Durham studying PPE. She is so happy there.

If I am in your shoes, I would choose Durham instead.  The career choices in H K and overseas are much wider even not staying in Law field.

If your daughter takes Durham, she has to take conversion exam, around 7 papers for Durham graduates. There is a risk she might not be able to complete them before graduation. However if your daughter aims at magic cicle firms or city firms later on, Durham gives a better preparation. Most, if not all, magic circle firm trainees I've come across are native or close to native English speakers. They are not just fluent.

講個例子你參考，識得一個小朋友在HKU讀了一年law後轉到英國頂尖學府再由year 1 讀起，同樣讀law，小朋友覚得HKU教法唔適合自己，詳情我唔識講番因我唔熟悉。去到英國小朋友如魚得水，發揮得好好，化表學府出外比賽，學府仲寫了封嘉許信給母校。我不知道這類信是否好普通，但我就替小朋友覚得好鼓舞。

越叻就越要出去讀，我識兩個在英國讀，都成功可以在香港入到 PCLL。

She got 41 points in IB, no need to worry about conversion, law conversion is not that hard, most people can pass all the exams (even you can retake it if you fail). If school fee is a problem, then CUHK will be the choice. If not, why not let your daughter to see the world?
