Edinburgh Legal Education Trust LLM by Research Scholarships

One or more scholarships are available for postgraduate research in Scots private law at the University of Edinburgh for a period of one year leading to the degree of LLM by Research (i.e. by a thesis of up to 30,000 words). The scholarships are offered by the Edinburgh Legal Education Trust, which was formed in 1996 for the advancement of legal education. The LLM by Research can (but need not) be used as a pathway to further study for the degree of PhD. It is often possible to treat the LLMR as the first year of study for a PhD by transferring to the PhD programme during the year spent on the LLMR. The scholarship will pay tuition fees at home students' rate and a stipend in line with UKRI rates. The proposed research must be in Scots private law.
