Since admitting its first cohort of students in 2006, CUHK LAW has grown significantly in scale and reputation. In 2023-24, over 1,400 students are enrolled in CUHK LAW programmes (LLB, LLM, JD, PCLL and MPhil / PhD). We are proud of our outstanding achievements in teaching and research. The 2020 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) conducted by the Hong Kong University Grants Committee recognized CUHK LAW’s research strength by rating 83% of its research activity as “world leading” (4*) or “internationally significant” (3*). CUHK LAW has a strong international outlook with nearly twenty jurisdictions (by origin or training) represented by its academic staff. In 2018 CUHK LAW was the most international law school globally according to the Times Higher Education (THE) ranking exercise.
