Amount and type of award
 
There are  two  Department of Law and Criminology postgraduate scholarships  offered on a competitive  basis per year.  One will normally be for a doctoral (PhD) candidate and one for a masters (LLM or MPhil) candidate.
 
Scholarships will be available to applicants who will undertake their study on the Master of  Law (LLM), Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programmes. Masters students may be either on the taught or research degree. Distance learning programmes are not included.
 
The Department of Law and Criminology postgraduate scholarships are worth £2,000 annually. This may be used to pay tuition fees. Scholarship winners registered for a PhD will receive £2,000 annually, subject to satisfactory progress on the programme, for up to three years. LLM and MPhil students will receive one year’s payment only.
