City Law School Dean’s Scholarship deadlines (2026/27 cycle)

For the LLM, the school offers one award per intake, September and January. It doesn’t state a number for the other courses.

Who can apply for the Law School Dean’s Scholarship

• Applicants with a 2:1 or first, or the international equivalent.
• Holders of a conditional or unconditional offer.
• Any fee status, full-time or part-time.
• GDL students with exemptions are not eligible.

How to apply

Once you have an offer, fill in the online form. The same application also puts you forward for the school’s Scholarship for Academic Excellence. You can’t hold the Dean’s Scholarship together with the BVS or SPP Scholarship; you’d get the higher-value award.

Worked example: a January LLM applicant for the Law School Dean’s Scholarship

Tolu, a first-class law graduate from Lagos, gets an offer for the January 2027 LLM. She submits the scholarship form well before 16 November 2026. Because there is only one LLM award per intake, she also applies for other funding. If she wins, her full fee is covered, but she still needs living costs and visa funds; see our UK student visa financial requirements guide.

LLM fees and what the scholarships are worth

City St George’s lists the LLM international fee for 2026/27 as £23,570 (twenty-three thousand five hundred and seventy pounds) a year full-time, or £11,790 part-time. It says fees rise each year with inflation, so expect a slightly higher figure for later intakes. Because the Dean’s Scholarship covers the full fee, it’s worth at least £23,570 to a full-time LLM student at current rates.

The £5,000 Scholarship for Academic Excellence

There’s a second award that’s easier to win. The City Law School’s Scholarship for Academic Excellence pays £5,000 (five thousand pounds) towards the LLM, including the online LLM, and it’s open to international students. The same application form puts you forward for both awards, so one form gives you two chances. The page says “up to 80” awards are available, so check the current number with the school.

Plan your budget

You’ll still need living costs in London and money for your visa. Our guide to UK student visa costs sets out what to budget.

Frequently asked questions

Can international students apply?

Yes. The school says applicants of any fee status can apply.

Does it cover living costs?

What if I don’t win the Dean’s Scholarship?

You may still get the £5,000 Scholarship for Academic Excellence, because the same application covers both awards.
