SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE TO FUND YOUR STUDIES ABROAD

 

Commercial Bar Studentships at Oxford
The Law Foundation has established two Commercial Bar Studentships at Oxford as a result of donations from a number of leading barristers. Consequently, Faculty of Law is now able to offer two one-year studentships of £7,500. They are available to EU and non-EU students. The Commercial Bar Studentships are one-year studentships. These studentships may not be held in conjunction with any other award if the effect would be to take the student's funding for the year above £12000. More details on
