Master of Laws inChinese Business Law(Business Applications)

China is playing an increasingly important part in global

commerce. It now crucially impacts on the landscape of

the world’s economy, especially with the country’s

success in becoming a World Trade Organization (WTO)

member. China business at the present time is a

virtually indispensable component of life for people and

enterprises around the world, and particularly in Hong

Kong where initiatives are being generated from the

Closer Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). In this

especially by those in the fields of law, business and

general administration.

The Master of Laws in Chinese Business Law

tives. Course content emphasizes practicality and a

broad coverage to help students gain a solid under-

standing of Chinese business law. This programme is

suitable for business management professionals in

Chinese-foreign (including Hong Kong and Taiwanese)

joint ventures and foreign-related enterprises. It is also

suitable for managers and proprietors of non-govern-

ment enterprises as well as small and medium-sized

enterprises. The programme provides students with the

knowledge in business laws which is required for any

business undertakings within and outside China.

The programme will be delivered online in the e-

learning mode, and will be presented in both Chinese

and English versions. It involves a combination of eight

core Chinese business law courses and four elective

courses in business and/or law areas.
