選修科目問題

CHAN-2

我的意思是，理科成績一般的，如果冇其他選擇，combined science 較易揀得到，也爲升學擴闊選擇機會。內容多了，但淺了，努力些就是了。

對。但如果仲未揀，可以考慮2科商／文科加1combined science，因為有些學生不喜歡這科，仲有，它較淺。

but combined science, more things to study.

新高中既PHY難讀, 內容過多, 教學時間不足, 學生好辛苦!

But the teacher said 新高中既PHY 少了些計算的, easier than before.

As far as I know, in order to differentiate different students from different universities (taking different subjects), the PCLL admission offer would use the average mark of your 6 core subjects to see if you meet the threshold mark set by them. If yes, your application for PCLL will be considered further. In not, your application will be rejected. Having passed the threshold test, the admission tutor would use all your 11 to 12 law subjects to calculate your average mark. If your average is around 60, you will have a good chance to be admitted. If your mark is 58 to 59, it is a marginal case and the admission tutor would consider other factors such as the standing of the colleges, the performance of students from that college etc.

If you know the rule of the game, then you kid can plan the tactics beforehand. It will increase his chance of being admitted to PCLL.

Thank you so much!  What do you mean by "..plus an average of 58 or above..."?

在香港,除了三家大學的法津學位外,HKU SPACE都有CPE課程。讀完兩年part time CPE和一年part time MNU的LLB,不用考conversion exam,可直報PCLL。根據SPACE講,MMU的2nd Up入PCLL無難度,2nd lower都有學生入到。

There are a few options as far as I know. Your kid can study LLB in Hong Kong overseas and take the PCLL. Some kids may study a non-law degree first and then take the JD or LLB or CPE again plus one more year in PCLL. Alternatively, they can obtain a legal qualification overseas and then take the overseas quailifying examinations.

Studying law in UK or in Hong Kong can apply for PCLL. Normally it takes 3 years in UK to complete an LLB degree and 4 years in Hong Kong. If your kid chooses to study in UK, he can take the conversion examination in summer or winter holidays. The average passing rate of conversion examination is about 75% so it is not difficult to complete the conversion examinations before or at the time he graduates. In other words, he may save one year. If he could not finish it by the time he graduates, he could spend one year to study the materials and have the same completed. In such a case, he will apply for admission to the PCLL with his fellow Hong Kong classmates who choose to study in Hong Kong. It is still fine.

As you said, the competition for a PCLL space is very keen. On average, the 3 HK universities offering PCLL would admit a total of 100 to 110 overseas students out of 600 annual intakes. Roughly speaking, HKU admits 80 overseas law graduates out of 300 to 320 intake. CU admits about 10 out of 150, This is because CU each year would have about 200 JD graduates to compete for the space. CitiU admits about 20 out of 120 spaces.

Most employers would not care where you study your PCLL course. So the most important matter is to secure a space. According to my informal knowledge, if your kid has a 2:1 or above LLB plius an average of 58 or above, I think he should have a reasonable chance to be admitted.

Sorry,

Hi, Shootastar,

Could you please tell us what the options are if my kid wants to become a practising solicitor in Hong kong?  I understand the normal route is for her to study law in one of the universities in Hong Kong.  But what if she studies law in UK (as your son did)?  Will she have to come back to do PCLL?  I heard that it's very very difficult for an UK graduate to secure a place in PCLL these days.  Is it really that bad?  Any advice?  Thanks!

The college which my son eventually attended specified in the offer that he needed to obtain an A in History plus 2 other As in his examination.

I can share with you my son's case. Four years ago my son applied to UK colleges to study law. He took Physics, Chemistry, Maths and History. He applied to Cambridge and other 4 colleges (3 are in top 10 and the last one in in top 15). He obtained offers from all the 4 colleges other than Cambridge. In case of Cambridge, he was in the winter pool and was rejected in late January.

The college which my son attended eventually specified in  the offer that he needed to obtain an A in History plus 2 other As in his examination.

From my son's case, I realised that if you son or daughter is interested in studying law (whether in Hong Kong or overseas), he or she will have an advantage if History is included in their curriculum.

我女兒思量了一年，她挑了 Phy, Geog, C.History

她懷著一點心虛的樣子問我：我選的這個組合會否很「騎呢」？

我回答：妳已經過長時間思考，選出這三科，一定有你的原因啊。那麼可否聽聽妳為何有這樣的決定？

女兒喜攷攷說：因為我喜歡這三科，也對這三科有信心！

我說：那就照你自己意願而行囉，我們都已討論良久了，妳亦清楚了解到各大學的收生要求，既然你喜歡跟有把握，相信自己吧~
