LLM Full Scholarships

Competition for scholarships to study in the School of Law is extremely strong and there are strict requirements. You should check carefully that you are eligible to apply for a particular scholarship before making an application, as most of the schemes are restricted to certain courses and/or nationalities.

You must have an offer of study in place before you can apply for LLM funding. This means that you must make sure that you apply for the LLM as early as possible.
