BA(Translation) - JD Double Degree
Jointly offered by the Department of Translation and the Faculty of Law, the BA(Translation) - JD double degree is a highly flexible option designed to prepare students to qualify as practising lawyers while leaving the door open to other career choices along the way.
1. Basic Structure
After completion of the first degree, BA(Translation) students may continue directly on to the Juris Doctor (JD) graduate degree programme, thus earning two degrees in five years (the "3+2" model). Students who wish to gain work experience after completion of the first degree may defer entry to the JD for up to three years.
2. Tuition fees (at current year levels)
BA(Translation) degree: HK$42,100 x 3 years = $126,300
JD degree: HK$3,000 per unit x 72 units = $216,000
3. Study Scheme
Students will complete the first degree BA (Translation) before beginning the second degree (Juris Doctor). Students may continue directly into the JD programme after they complete the BA(Translation) programme, they may defer entry to the JD for up to three years, or they may opt out of the second degree altogether. Students will be awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts after successful completion of the first three years, and the degree of Juris Doctor after successful completion of the subsequent minimum two years of full-time study.*
