努力加油

Apparently they are more careful with answering emails than I thought, but seems like it's not impossible to defer.

这个项目跟统考的项目不是一个录取程序

gtwoUID: 2943314

国内研究生基本都是不能defer，你把enquiry发给了北大法学硕士（英文授课中国法）项目，这个硕士不一样，中国国籍除港澳台，没有资格报读这个硕士，这个硕士不用参加全国研究生考试，根国外llm 录取程序差不多，这个项目是可以 defer,本来就是创收项目。

Dear XX,

I am wondering could you please tell me which program you would like to defer at PKU Law. And you full name?

I am the coordinatior of LL.M.Program in Chinese Law which taught in English. I do not think you are the enrol list of this program in the year of 2011-2013.

Thanks.

Best,
Laura

Dear LLM Admission Committee at PKU,

I am writing to request a deferral of my admission to PKU's LLM program for one
year. The reason for this request is due to my plan to study for an one-year
LLM program at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) during the incoming semesters.
I wish to gain additional exposure to a legal education that is of comparable
quality to PKU's, yet the learning environment is different enough to make this
experience valuable to my future study at PKU.

Lastly, I want to stress that while PKU's LLM is my first priority, I consider
an extra year spent at HKU will worth the while for both the diversity and
international exposure that this experience will carry.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely yours,
XX

或者说理论上可以，但是几乎很难成功DEFER

阿泰UID: 209473

PKU的LLM是不能DEFER的

个人认为楼上解得非常正...

From LZ's replies, I'm going to hypothesize that LZ intends to leverage the brand recognition of the graduate school in order to GET job offers from top firms. Based on this hypothesis, I will recommend LZ to attend HKU in lieu of PKU, here is why:

1). From my experience in the US -- unless the job market is significantly different in HK/Mainland China -- the brand name of your school will only get you interviews at top firms; whether you can nail them depends on entirely on your own. Provided you are already a graduate from a well-known undergrad school, you should attend a grad school that will best hone the skills that your employers are seeking, which are also presumably your area of weakness. To this end, you should find more opportunities at HKU (English skill, ability to network with foreigners, familiarity with an additional legal system and etc).

*Assuming you have the $$ or are able to get full-ride scholarship*
2). The fact that HKU's LLM is only 1-year leaves you with more options at a given time frame. If you fail to find a good job after graduated from HKU, you can still go back to do PKU's LLM (assuming you can defer PKU's admission by one year), apply for LLM in UK/US, or maybe even do a JD in Hong Kong. In contrast, if you fail after PKU, you wasted an extra year by going with any but the first alternative.

Hope that helps.

弱弱的问一句。。。要是人大（法学硕士，两年）和hku比，应该选哪个呢。。。

学习英语很大的程度还是在自己

根据我自己在北大曾经准备考博的一年 感觉北大在知识的提供上还是不错的 但是语言的环境确实的欠佳 这跟学校对教工和博士生在SSCI上发表论文的要求也是有关系的

港大的LLM的学生确实9个月的PROGRAMME学习到的英语有限 但是好在有个不错的环境可以提高 以后进一步的深造 对提高语言的潜力也是有帮助的

至于学术上面来讲 北大这两年的牌子被人大赶超的厉害 跟港大来讲的话 在公法这块半斤八两 可能港大略优 私法这块 北大要好一点

港大的认可度不会比北大低的吧。。。。。。奇怪。。。。。

gtwoUID: 2943314

这个impression is very fair and reasonable.我各人感觉是：去了香港读llm,特别是mcl项目（应为有比较多的全奖），一般都是对英语有兴趣的多，对涉外工作有兴趣的多，来港前英语已经有所准备人（要提前很早准备雅思等），所以他们这个group，可能总体英语会比pku　llm　group好些。如果要比较，可能要把，北大出来的，对英语感兴趣的，然后根港大llm出来，如果有个这样参照，可能有个比较准确的approximation。

我个人感觉，你观察到两个groups　语言能力查别，不在读书的location，而是两组学生本来英语功底和多年积累情况。

那我重说，从我认识的为数不多的hku llm（Group A）毕业生和为数众多的pku master（Group B）的毕业生看，Group A总体水平高过Group B很多。
