That experience illustrated theoverlap between engineering and law but left me with more questions than answers.It piqued my curiosity about the legal field. After consulting with fellow students,I was surprised to discover the complementarity of skill-sets between engineering andlaw, and realized the value in acquiring both of them.14%6%11%40%29%Economics, Finance, and AccountingHumanities and Social SciencesLanguagesSciencesLaw (non-Common Law Jurisdictions)I chose HKU because of the renowned reputation of its law faculty as well as theample career opportunities in Hong Kong. A few months into the programme,it has already exceeded my expectations. My professors are experts in their fieldsand dynamic in the classroom, and the small class size enables students and thefaculty to interact closely. The small class size also makes it easy for students to formstudy groups early on. It is exciting to collaborate outside of the classroom, and ourdiverse backgrounds contribute to the medley of viewpoints and ideas, enrichingthe discussion and providing new perspective when solving legal problems. I amconfident that the JD programme will provide a great foundation to embark on mylegal career.7
