Note

An undergraduate may elect to offer both Human Rights Law and Environmental Law. Where an undergraduate offers both Human Rights Law and Environmental Law, only one more subject will have to be chosen from the electives offered by the Faculty. Where an undergraduate elects to do either Human Rights Law or Environmental Law, two elective subjects will have to be chosen from the electives offered by the Faculty. Thus, in total, four law subjects will have to be offered by the undergraduate.

The Faculty may not offer all the elective subjects listed in a given year. Undergraduates are advised to consult the relevant Heads of Departments about the elective subjects offered in a given year. During the past, undergraduates have found it difficult to choose an elective from the subjects offered in a given year. You are therefore strongly advised to consult the lecturers concerned should there be any difficulty in making a final selection in this regard.
