Teaching & Modules
Teaching methods - what to expect
Teaching
We have a strong tradition of excellence in teaching, with consistently high student satisfaction ratings for Law in the National Student Survey and are committed to maintaining that tradition. All required modules are taught through lectures, small group tutorials and seminars. These tutorials and seminars will give you the opportunity to apply the general legal principles you have learnt to specific problems and allow you to engage with our academics and explore issues further in depth.
You will be assigned a personal tutor, who will advise on academic and personal issues and offer some careers assistance. We attach great importance to maintaining good relations between staff and students and our Staff -Student Liaison Committee meets regularly.
Typically, one credit equates to 10 hours of work.
Course structure
Courses are divided into modules. Each year, you will normally take modules totalling 120 credits, and at CUHK you will normally take modules totalling 120 credits (30 CUHK units) in Year 3 and 108 credits (27 CUHK units) in Year 4.
