SPEED signed a five-year collaboration agreement with Kemayan Advance Tertiary College (KATC) of Malaysia and Intech Training Centre (ITC) of Singapore on 16 June this year to offer a Preparatory Programme for the University of London's Bachelor of Laws (LLB).

The School held several seminars for the LLB Preparatory Programme in July, August and September. Dr. Wayne Morrison, Director of the University of London's Laws Programme, flew to Hong Kong to host the July session. He introduced the programme to interested parties and participants also had a chance to attend free trial lectures.
