Norman Palmer Partial Scholarship

The Norman Palmer Partial Scholarship is awarded in honor of Norman Palmer, who was the academic principal of the Institute of Art and Law and provided countless hours of instruction to hundreds of students. His wisdom and intellectual curiosity produced leading publications including Palmer on Bailment, Art Loans and Museums and the Holocaust, as well as dozens of articles in the area of art and cultural property law. As a barrister, he specialized in cultural objects, personal property, commercial law and dispute resolution. This scholarship provides a partial tuition fee waiver for students enrolled in the LLM Art, Business and Law programme at Queen Mary University of London. The scholarship is available for full-time students only and covers one-third of tuition fees. One scholarship is available annually. The award is based on academic merit, professional achievements (if any), and financial need. Applicants must have a conditional or unconditional offer for the specific Art, Business and Law LLM programme and cannot be in receipt of funding from another source. The scholarship is not payable directly to the recipient but is offset against the student fee invoice. Successful candidates are required to submit a two-page report to the donor at the end of the academic year outlining their progress and how they benefitted from the scholarship. Recipients may also be asked to assist with Queen Mary marketing events such as postgraduate open evenings and promotional activities.

Law Progression Scholarship

The Law Progression Scholarship is a fee discount program offered by Queen Mary University of London to alumni who have previously completed an LLB Law degree at Queen Mary or qualifying University of London institutions. The scholarship provides significant tuition fee reductions for graduates wishing to pursue full-time postgraduate LLM or MSc Law programs at Queen Mary's London campus. The discount amount varies based on whether the applicant is a Queen Mary graduate or a University of London institution graduate, and whether they qualify for Home or International fee status. To be eligible, students must have achieved an upper second-class honour (2.1) or first class honours (1st) degree in their undergraduate LLB. Queen Mary LLB alumni receive fee discounts of £4,000 (Home students) or £6,000 (International students), while University of London institution alumni receive discounts of £2,000 (Home students) or £3,000 (International students). This results in reduced tuition fees ranging from £15,800 to £29,500 depending on the applicant's background and fee status. The scholarship is available for unlimited awards for January 2026 entry and applies only to full-time, London-based LLM and MSc Law programs run by the School of Law and Centre for Commercial Law Studies. The scholarship cannot be combined with other Queen Mary or external scholarships, and several program types are explicitly excluded, including Paris-based programs, dual degree programs with Singapore, MRes, PGCert, PGDip, distance learning, variable mode, and part-time programs.
