Overseas study experience is an important part of university education. It provides opportunities for students to broaden their horizon and develop a global view. Students are encouraged to pursue exchange studies outside Hong Kong by participating in student exchange programmes organised by the School of Law or the Mainland and External Affairs Office (MEAO).
Please visit the website of MEAO for more information about the Student Exchange Programmes organised by the University.
Global Legal Education and Awareness Project (G-LEAP)
 In order to complement the existing exchange progammes and to produce law graduates who could deal with the challenges of working in a globalised environment, the School of Law in 2007 launched the Global Legal Education and Awareness Project (G-LEAP). It is designed to promote excellence in legal education with a view to providing opportunities for our law students to have a global perspective in the study of law. Under G-LEAP, the School signed agreements with the Faculty of Law of Monash University and University College, Oxford. Our students can study a credit-bearing law course at these two universities for one month on an intensive basis during the summer term. 
In 2008, 49 LLB students spent four weeks (31 May to 28 June 2008) at Monash University, Australia, to study a course on Intellectual Property: Theory, Copyright and Design. Students attended classes for two weeks each at the Clayton campus and the Melbourne City campus. (G-LEAPing into study course Down Under)
In 2009, 34 LLB students went to Monash University from 30 May to 28 June 2009 to study a course on Intellectual Property: Theory, Copyright and Design, while another group of 30 LLB students went to University College, Oxford, U.K. from 4 July to 31 July 2009 to study a course on European Competition Law and Policy.

Application details of the G-LEAP will be announced to the students between January and March of each year.
