UCL FACULTY OF LAW - E Bufton Bursary

E&C Bufton Bursary

You will receive a one-off payment of about 700 EUR (£600), which will be paid out to you once you have enrolled. It is provided by the Faculty of Law at UCL for students commencing a Bachelor’s degree in Law (LLB) at University College London. This is a means-tested scholarship, which means it is aimed at students from low-income households and is intended to help cover the costs of studying.

Who can apply

• Course: You have been offered a place on the LLB (Bachelor of Laws) degree programme at UCL starting in September 2026. This may be a firm offer, meaning you have met all the entry requirements, or a ‘near-miss’ offer with a guaranteed place.
• Fee status: You have the fee status ‘UK (Home)’ and live in the United Kingdom.
• Household income: Your household income is 42,875 GBP per year or less.
• School: You attended a state-funded, fee-free school. If you have ever attended a fee-paying school, you are not eligible to apply.
• First degree: You have not yet obtained a degree from UCL or any other higher education institution in any subject area.

How to apply

Applications must be submitted via an online form. This must include a statement of purpose in which you explain why you are applying for the scholarship. The application deadline is 2 September. If you are shortlisted, you will be invited to a short online video interview. A committee from the Faculty of Law will then decide who is to be awarded the scholarship.
