The University of West London (UWL), which was voted the “best university in London for student satisfaction” in the 2016 National Student Survey, is expanding its programmes in Hong Kong through a partnership arrangement with Hong Kong Nang Yan College of Higher Education.

Andrea Moran, UWL’s head of marketing and communications, says the International Business and Commercial Law (LLM) and Masters of Music (MMus) Performance offered through Nang Yan College bring more high-quality, career-focused educational courses to Hong Kong.

“UWL’s partnership with a highly respected and established education provider such as Nang Yan College is part of our development plan in the region. It is the perfect base from which to develop and expand further into China and the  East Asia,” Moran says. “UWL is bringing a global brand to a global city for a global community.”

UWL is drawing on its 150-year heritage of teaching and professional education to offer expertise and knowledge to Hong Kong through the delivery of high quality, career-focused degree programmes. UWL courses, which include healthcare and tourism programmes, received 100 per cent overall satisfaction from students in the 2016 National Student Survey.

The LLM International Business and Commercial Law (LLM) is offered with a flexible timetable to suit Hong Kong’s working professionals. Classes mainly take place in the evenings and at weekends, says Philip Ells, UWL head of School, School of Law and Criminology. Ells says the LLM is designed for qualified students seeking to acquire knowledge and expertise that will enable them to work as legal experts in the world of multinational corporations.

 Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 20 per cent law content, with a second class honours, or equivalent such as BA (Hons) in business studies, or a BA (Hons) in criminology. Alternatively, applicants with a minimum of two years legal or relevant experience in banking, commerce, business of finance (regulation in the financial sector or negotiating contracts), will be considered subject to an interview. The degree and the subjects studied are the same as the degree awarded by UWL in the UK and other countries.
