The auditing programme is predominantly for legal professionals who are interested in attending any of the subject courses conducted by the Faculty but would like to be exempted from assessment requirements (such as presentations, class projects, assignments or examinations).

While the Auditing Programme is predominantly targeted at legal professionals, non-legal professionals who are working in the relevant industry may be admitted, subjected to the instructors’ consent and the participants’ work experience. Non-legal professionals must have sufficient knowledge or experience to follow the class as no course fee refund will be made should they find the course too difficult to follow.
