Warwick -->Newcastle-->Leicester-->Southampton / Lancaster
上述排名先考慮大學Law School在不同League Tables的排名,(請留意:是科目排名而不是大學排名,因為法律是很專門的學科),同時亦考慮有關大學是否屬於Russell Group (英國法律業界比較保守和注重傳統),亦參考了High Fliers Research和Chambers Student的英國僱主調查報告,經整體考慮分析才作出排名。

Warwick的排名遠高於其他4間,屬英國top law schools的2nd tier,可列入10大。

其次是Newcastle,同屬Russell Group大學,Law school不俗,可列入20大。

雖然Southampton是Russell Group大學,整體排名亦高於Leicester,但後者Law School的名聲比前者為佳,而且更重要的是在僱主調查中(特別是law firms和chambers)遠較前者優勝,故此把它放在第3。


Southampton是英國一間有名的大學,不少學科名列10大,可惜law school卻很一般。反之Lancaster雖然排名較後但law school名聲卻不錯,故此把兩者放在同一級。個人認為如果留在英國執業,我會選Lancaster,但回流亞洲可能不及Southampton多人認識。

上屬只是建基於一個因為兒子在一年前決定往英國大學修讀法律的父親所做的資料蒐集,純屬個人意見,僅供其他家長作參考之用。

In order to maintain competitiveness in PCLL admission and for training contracts, you need to have a high 2:1 or first LL B degree from Kent.

Kingkong

I would like to go for higher ranking Us (if one has choice). Obtaining 2:1 is not too difficult in top ranking Us.

For your information, about 80% of Cambridge law graduates have 2:1 or first. In case of Oxford, about 65% to 70% of law graduates have 2:1 or better.

In case of KC, LSE and UCL, about 80% of their law graduates are of 2:1 or higher.

However, it is also good to settle at U of Kent, so long as you can obtain "high" 2:1 or first. "High" means the average marks of all law subjects are 65 or better. Usually you need average mark of 60 or better to obtain a "2:1". A low "2:1" from U of Kent is not competitive as far as admission to PCLL and training contract are concerned.

In short, do not worry about the name of the U so long as you have a high "2:1" or first. My two cents.

If your kid is aiming at coming back to HK / Asia to practise (I take this for granted as you asked about taking PCLL), a more renowned law school of a top UK university (the RG for example) will make things a bit easier. Please also refer to elbar's posting about the list of recognised UK law schools by the Singapore government. This is also worth considering.

Shootastar's comments are good, and it is true that if your kid get a first or 2:1 degree, it really doesn't matter too much. But since the legal profession, no matter in HK or in UK, is highly competitive in gaining a training contract, personally I still think it is worth considering getting a LLB from a more renowned university. Of course, very careful consideration must be given to whether your kid is capable of adapting to the highly competitive atmosphere at top law schools, and whether her/his public exam results can meet the requirements of the top law schools (usually AAA or A*AA). If a lower expectation is your option, personally I prefer Sheffield, York or Exeter to Kent.

If your kid is intending to apply PCLL in HK and to practice in HK, first priority is studying in HK. Better chance (still need 2.1) to get admitted in HK. Otherwise, only the very top law schools (Oxbridge, LSE, UCL, Warwick) will stand better chance as local HK students.

2 recent real  cases. One's kid got low 2.1 from LSE (parent is a very senior government officer), other one  also got 2.1 from Kent (parent is a past  Law Society Chairman). Both of them didn't get admitted to PCLL in HK. They both went back to UK to do the LPC.

Not really. My son was fortunate enough that he completed all the conversion examinations at the time he graduated. He managed to be admitted to PCLL immediately after his LLB.

I think it is rumor that PCLL only admitted fresh LLB graduates. I know a number of friends whose kids were admitted to PCLL one year after LLB because various reasons - not yet passed all conversion examinations, doing the LLM or taking a gap year.

The admission to PCLL is based on academic merit only (as posted in various websites of the PCLL providers). If you are not a local LLB or JD graduates, you need a high "2:1" or "first" if you are not from the 1st tier colleges (we are discusing UK colleges). If you are from the 1st tier colleges, a low "2:1" will do so long as the average of your core subjects are 56 or above.

My son took a few modules every time when he returned to HK (X'mas and summer vacation) starting from Year 1. He opined that it is a bit easier to handle, and can avoid clustering everything in final year, which will make life very stressful.

According to his experience, it should not be too difficult to get a pass with sufficient preparation.

It's OK for you to ask for details as long as the questions are sensible and the information you want is not easily available in the Internet. That's what Education Kingdom is for. We are very willing to share as we have gone through the same difficult time some time ago.

Back to Conversion Exam. My son did not attend any tutorial classes in HK. He said as long as you pick those modules that you are currently studying in UK law school, everything will be fine since the concepts and knowledge are pretty much the same. The only difference is the cases. He only asked me to purchase reference books selected from the lists provided by the PCLL Conversion Exam Board. Everything turns out to be fine so far.


As for the entry requirements, according to the children of my friends and relatives who studied law in UK and have gained a place in PCLL program, it is true one really need a 'high 2:1' at least to gain a place. In addition, they all claimed that it would be better to get the LLB from a renowned UK university. In view of these, I would advise you and your son to consider getting a place from a RG university (Queen Mary is a good choice) through UCAS adjustment / clearing after the release of the public exam results.

My son did not take any course for the conversion examination. Probably, some of his classmates did who were willing to share with him of the note. Save for 3 top-up subjects, they are open book examinations. If you have the notes, then it is not difficult to get a pass (the result is only pass or fail) on that subject.

Apart from the notes, it is better that he has one or two recommended books on each subject for reference. If he does not have the materials, he can then attend the courses. However, such courses may not be necessary so long as you have the reference materials.

In order to compare the overseas students, it is an open secret that the PCLL providers will first consider the average marks of 6 core subjects - those subjects are compulsory in their LLB degree. I could not recall exactly the name of the core subjects, but something like, Contract, Tort, Administrative Law, Legal System, Criminal Law etc.

If your average mark of the 6 core subjects is 56 or above, the PCLL providers will consider your LLB degree, where you come from and whether your degree is a "high 2:1" or a "low 2:1".

For your information, if you are from a prestigeous college like Cambridge, Oxford, UCL, King's or LSE, the standard offer (in the year of my son's application) was only a high "2:2" (average mark for 8 subjects taken in the 2nd and 3rd year is 58 or above). Situation may change few years later but I do think that a low "2:1" from those colleges would be qualified for a spot in the PCLL class. For less famous colleges, I think that a "high 2:1" (meaning of average mark 65 or about) is competitive for a spot.

Last, I have to remind that some students of "2:1" LLB from the prestigeous colleges are still denied because they slip in the core subjects result. It is quite easy to happen as 4 to 5 core subjects are taught in the 1st year and the students may not get used to learning law in the first year.

Usually you will have a " first" if you have an average mark of 68 in the 2nd and 3rd year subjects."Slip" in first year means he has not obtained an average mark of 56 in the first year subjects.
Due to grade inflation in many law schools, the PCLL providers have a list of colleges which are known as giving high marks even though the students are not at that level.
That is why you need a high 2:1 in less privilegeous law colleges. If you are from 1st tier UK law colleges, a low "2:1" is still competitive because they do not practise grade inflation. My two cents.

你所選的大學法律學院全是英國十大,競爭激烈,請小心考慮考生的承受能力。不單是公開試,考進之後三年的大學功課和考試壓力亦非常大。個人建議考慮是否需要挑選一間二線的法學院作保險。


如果有打算回港執業需要考慮大學的知名度,相比之下DurhamUCL在這方面稍為遜色少許。另一方面LSE學額較少,除牛津和劍橋法律系外競爭最為激烈,應小心考慮生的承受能力。


LSE、Warwick和QMUL唔需要LNAT。


英國頂級法律學院唔睇UMS%。除公開考試成績外,interview, personal statement, cv, extra-curricular activities, law-related experience, reference都十分重要,但並沒有劃一的準則。所以你問有怎樣的成績才值得一試投考牛劍是沒有答案的,如真的有興趣一試,做好以上的東西。


新加坡國立大學法律學院仲難考過牛劍,你講真定講假?澳洲名牌大學大部份沒有法律學士課程LLB,讀完本科學士才可讀JD。在此兩地獲承認的法律學院考取法律學位後,同英國畢業的一樣,要考Conversion同修讀PCLL方可執業。就業前景是因人而異,無話邊度畢業較優勝,不過本港律師事務所的老闆和主管幾乎全部都係港大同英國大學畢業,話你聽無preference你都唔信啦。

Oxbridge is the most difficult to get admission amongst all UK law schools.

It appears that Oxbridge's admission rate is about 10% while LSE is around 5% to 7%, the figure is misleading. There will be a selection procedure at the stage of making an application to Oxbridge. You need your school principal to support your application first. If you apply for LSE, you are free to do so by filling in LSE as your choice in the UCAS form.

Apart from the academic aspect and LNAT, the location and student life, etc. of these law schools also differ.  If you ask specific questions, you may get more detailed advice.  If you want to try Oxbridge and are uncertain about your chance, it is advisable to choose Oxford with better GCSE/IGCSE results or Cambridge with better AS results.

Please note that a student applying for Oxbridge has to sit for interviews which are difficult and tough. For Cambridge, there are two interviews. A student will be given an article to read and answer the questions raised by the interviewers. There will be many follow-up questions based on the student's answers. This can test the critical thinking and the flexibility of changing views of the student. There is no interview for LSE application.

You have to use LNAT for the application for Oxford but to take the Cambridge Law Test for Cambridge during the interview period.
