Law Humanitarian Scholarship

The School of Law and Social Justice is committed to contributing, through the excellence of our research and policy work, the critical exploration of the role of law in promoting social justice.

The Law subject-specific scholarship isn't running for 2024/25. Please apply via the general humanitarian scholarship.

We are defined by our commitment to social justice and see support for widening participation and internationalisation as central to this aim. As part of this commitment, we are offering the Law Humanitarian Scholarship for international students wishing to continue their academic careers at postgraduate level.
