Leon Brittan Studentship in European Studies

The Leon Brittan Studentship in European Studies is intended to support an outstanding candidate in the field of European Studies for one-year postgraduate courses. The Studentship is funded by a number of generous donations made in memory of Lord Brittan of Spennithorne (1939-2015), who was an undergraduate at Trinity College, and who, among other distinctions, served as Vice-President of the European Commission. The award supports students pursuing the LLM with an intended focus on European Law, or an MPhil with a significant focus related to Europe offered by various departments including the Faculty of History, the Faculty of Economics, the Department of Politics and International Studies, the Department of the History and Philosophy of Science, the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics (for European and Comparative Studies) or the Department of Land Economy. The studentship covers tuition fees for both home and international students, maintenance costs, student visa costs, student immigration health surcharge, and provides a research emolument of £500 per annum. It also covers the cost of a return ticket from the country of origin to the United Kingdom for overseas students.
