Located in China's capital city, Tsinghua Law School has long been regarded as one of the top law faculties in the country. BU Law students participate in a single (fall) semester of Tsinghua's LL.M. in Chinese Law Program - an English language program focusing exclusively on Chinese law and China's legal system - and the first of its kind in mainland China. The program has a truly international feel, however, as all students are from foreign countries (not just the U.S.), and many of the program's faculty, including Tsinghua's full-time faculty, adjuncts and local practitioners, have studied outside of China, giving the program an international perspective.
Another unique opportunity is the seven-semester LL.M. degree option: Tsinghua designed its LL.M. in Chinese Law Program in such a way that students who participate in the fall exchange program can return at any point within two years to complete a second semester at Tsinghua and be awarded the LL.M. degree. So BU Law students can obtain both a J.D. degree from BU Law and an LL.M. degree from Tsinghua in seven semesters. Fall Semester only.
