Who can participate?

The LLB in Engineering and Law Program is a joint effort between HKUST School of Engineering, and the corresponding units at the University of Exeter, namely:

Department of Computer Science (To be confirmed)
School of Law   

Students who wish to apply for it should ideally be enrolled in one of the BEng and BSc programs below:

However, students from other engineering disciplines are also welcome to apply as long as they can devise a feasible study plan. They should consult their major departments and work out the study plan.

The LLB in Engineering and Law Program is offered exclusively for students whose first major program is in the HKUST School of Engineering, and is thus not open to students whose first major is in other Schools.
