PCLL FAQs.
What is the PCLL?
The Postgraduate Certificate in Laws is the one-year professional course that law graduates complete before becoming trainee solicitors or pupil barristers in Hong Kong. It is offered by The University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and City University of Hong Kong.
Can you help me get a place on the PCLL?
Yes. Entry to the PCLL is competitive and each provider sets its own admission requirements. We help with your academic preparation in the required subjects, your application and any interview, and with conversion examinations if your law degree is from outside Hong Kong.
What are the PCLL conversion examinations?
Applicants whose law degree is from outside Hong Kong may need to pass conversion examinations in Hong Kong law subjects to show they meet the PCLL entry standard. The subjects required depend on your degree. We tutor the conversion subjects one to one, online or in person.
Do you tutor all three PCLL programmes?
Yes. Our tutors support students on the HKU, CUHK and CityU PCLL programmes. The programmes share a common core but differ in structure and assessment, so we tailor tutoring to your provider.
Can you help if I failed a PCLL assessment?
Yes. We build a focused resit plan from your results and feedback, concentrating on the areas and skills that cost you marks.
