Postgraduate Scholarships

We offer several postgraduate scholarships, each with unique application processes and eligibility criteria.

Deadlines and further details will be forthcoming on this page, usually around the end of April each year.

Being awarded the Postgraduate Scholarship means a great deal to me. It represents my achievements and the realisation of my educational and career aspirations. Not only this, but it has awarded me the opportunity to pursue advanced studies in International Commercial and Business Law, a discipline I am most interested in and passionate about. It has also helped me discover new possibilities and career opportunities while alleviating the financial burden of postgraduate studies. Aoife McTague, The Kyle Scholarship Winner 2023
