An LLM, or Masters of Law, is an advanced degree for those who already hold an undergraduate degree in law. While an LLM is not required to practice law in Hong Kong, many legal professionals choose to undertake this further study in order to concentrate on a specific area that interests them and to build their professional network. There are a number of specializations available within the LLM academic category, and some of those are available at universities and academic institutions in Hong Kong.

An LLB degree is often a prerequisite for applicants to LLM programs in Hong Kong, although some selected programs may consider graduates from other related bachelors programs. In some countries around the world, such as Switzerland or Denmark, an LLM is required to practice law, so law students in Hong Kong may find an LLM is a good investment if they plan to work abroad. LLM programs at universities in Hong Kong last one to two years and are available part time or full time. Online LLM students in Hong Kong can study while maintaining a full time work schedule at the same time, or otherwise managing their busy schedule.
