Trinity College Dublin Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Masters Studentship 2016/17

The Law School at Trinity College Dublin is delighted to announce the establishment of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Masters Studentship.

The value of the studentship is a 5,000 euro contribution towards LL.M tuition fees (EU or Non-EU) in academic year 2016/17. It is funded by the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at Trinity College Dublin.

This studentship seeks to acknowledge the quality of entrants to our taught LL.M programmes and the on-going contribution of LL.M students to our Law School and Faculty of AHSS. It aims to support and develop gifted postgraduate students. 

Eligibility

This studentship is available to new entrants (EU and Non-EU) to any of our four LL.M degrees, for admission in September 2016. In order to be eligible, applicants must hold and have officially accepted an Unconditional Offer of a place on one of these programmes by 31st July 2016. 

Selection Criteria

Applications are assessed competitively with the sole criteria for the grant of the studentship being the proven academic merit of the candidate. It is accepted, however, that very many candidates with exceptional qualifications apply annually to the programme. Thus the decision as to the recipient of the studentship (which is made at School level) is at the exclusive discretion of the LL.M Course Director and LL.M Sub-Committee.

As only one studentship will be available in , LL.M applicants are strongly advised to apply for all other funding and grants open to them.

LL.M applicants are expected to apply for the renewal of any Local Authority Scholarship they may have held as undergraduates.
