The School of Law will be offering four 'Opportunities in Law' Partial Scholarships worth £3,000 each to applicants of the following nationalities for its taught LLM programmes:
- Colombia
- Kazakhstan
- Sri Lanka
- Uganda
Opportunities in Law Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of academic merit and financial need. Unlike other School of Law Scholarships, Opportunities in Law Scholarships are not dependant upon students completing a particular course of study while on the LLM.
What are scholarship winners required to do?
All successful candidates for the full LLM scholarship and the Ugandan, Kazakhstani, Colombian and Sri Lankan partial-scholarship will be required to work two hours a week unpaid, assisting the LLM Office and Law Marketing Team with administrative work and research and assisting at the postgraduate law open evenings.

Deadline
The closing date for the receipt of Scholarship applications is Monday 4 April 2011.
