CUHK Rolls Out an Articulated Double Degree Program Combining Business and Law Disciplines

A new Dual Degree Program of the Bachelor of Business Administration (Integrated BBA Program) and Juris Doctor (“BBA-JD”)  is launched. Jointly offered by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School and CUHK Faculty of Law, this new five-year double degree program is the first of its kind in Asia.

The five-year program blends two strategic disciplines into a single program and enables students to obtain two degrees – a BBA degree awarded by CUHK Business School and a JD degree awarded by CUHK Faculty of Law, as opposed to the usual six years required for a BBA degree (four years) and a JD degree (two years). The first intake with up to 40 students will be admitted in 2017-18.


At the event, Angel Ng, a CUHK Business School alumna and Country Business Manager, Hong Kong, Citibank Global Consumer Banking, shared her views on the financial services industry’s growing demand for talents with interdisciplinary knowledge and skills in business and law.

She stated that in today’s global and complicated business environment, the financial services and banking industry in Hong Kong is facing stringent compliance and regulations. Talents with compliance expertise and skills are in great demand to support the planning and implementation of enhancements and control measures that serve our strategic objectives while adhering to the highest ethical and regulatory standards. “A bank may take a century to build up a good reputation but a minor decision could easily ruin its brand image,” she added.

John Lee and Tina Wong, both BBA and JD graduates of CUHK, who are now working in leading multinational law firms, also shared their views about the program and the advantages of having these academic qualifications on their career development. Tina Wong, a Trainee Solicitor at Jones Day, a multinational legal institution, said that the knowledge and skills acquired from her undergraduate studies in BBA has facilitated her work at law firm.

Prof. Kalok Chan, Dean of CUHK Business School quoted that “it’s excited to offer a global business programme that can provide guidance on how to navigate the complexities of the legal framework. CUHK Business School is committed to the partnership with the CUHK Faculty of Law to prepare students to go beyond a single traditional discipline and acquire an unparalleled and interdisciplinary learning experience.”

Prof. Christopher Gane, Dean of CUHK Faculty of Law said that “by leveraging the synergy between legal and business training, graduates will be well-equipped to assume leadership roles in business and various sectors including the government, community service, law enforcement, education and media.”

Tuition Fee And Admission Requirements

Based on the tuition fee rate in 2016-17, students will need to pay HK$335,080 for the five-year study and thus save about HK$110,000 as compared to that of the traditional six-year BBA-JD program. Students applying for admission to the new double degree program via the Joint University Programmes Admissions System must fulfill the minimum entrance requirements of obtaining at least level 5 and 4 in the English Language and Chinese Language respectively as well as level 3 in both Liberal Studies and Mathematics and two elective subjects in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination.

As one of the entrance requirements of the BBA-JD double degree program, applicants are required to take face-to-face admission interviews. Dr. Andy Wong, Assistant Dean (Undergraduate Studies) and Co-director of the Integrated BBA Program at CUHK Business School shared some tips for a successful interview. He emphasized that in the interviews, candidates must be able to share their foresight on future career development and have breadth and depth of knowledge about a wide range of subjects, as well as demonstrate strong communication and analytical skills.
