Due to the continuing and substantial generosity of the law firm Herbert Smith Freehills, the Law Faculty is delighted to announce exciting news regarding an MCL bursary for those applying to the MCL programme for 2024-25.
Under the Herbert Smith Freehills bursary scheme that will be in operation for the current admissions round and for the admissions round for 2025-26, a bursary will be awarded that will cover half of the MCL tuition fees, or £21,000 in 2024-25.
All applicants who are offered a place on the MCL are eligible to be considered for the Herbert Smith Freehills bursary. There is no need to apply. Instead, the MCL Admissions Committee will consider the files of all those to whom offers on the MCL programme have been extended so as to identify the bursary recipients. The bursary will be awarded on the basis of outstanding academic achievement.
Preference will be given to candidates who have indicated, at the time of their application to the MCL course, that they are not able to meet the full funding requirements of the course from private sources.
Recipients must not be in receipt of funding from any public source, including the Cambridge Trust.
Herbert Smith Freehills is one of the world’s leading professional services businesses. The firm has 2,600 lawyers in 24 offices around the world.
