The decision to award a successful applicant the School of Law scholarship will be based on a combination of
-the LLM programme you have applied for
-the area of law and the modules you would like to take, as shown in your personal statement and
-your reasoning for being awarded a scholarship based on our criteria.
-You will be required to select LLM modules only as part of your LLM degree. If you are specialising in a particular area of law your module selection availability will be limited.
-If you have applied for funding elsewhere and are successful in receiving such funding you must inform us immediately. In the event that you are awarded funding elsewhere we will withdraw your application. If you are awarded one of our LLM scholarships and are then awarded funding elsewhere the offer of being awarded our School of Law LLM scholarship will be withdrawn.
