Access to the Bar
The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple currently offers placements which include one week in a set of barristers chambers and one week marshalling (e.g. sitting in court alongside a judge). The award winners will gain experience of what a career at the Bar involves. They will get to know practitioners and judges and have the opportunity to ask for informal advice and feedback as to their suitability and how to set about becoming a barrister. For each week the student will receive £350.
The scheme is open to undergraduates who are in the second, third or fourth year of a qualifying law degree, or taking the Graduate Diploma in Law or an equivalent conversion course. Postgraduates with a qualifying law degree may also apply.
How to apply
For further guidance, see the Access to the Bar guidance document.
To apply, please fill out the Middle Temple application form. Please submit all documents in one email and send them to law-scholarships-bursaries@qmul.ac.uk.

LVFA Scholarship
Lawyers Volunteering for the Arts began life in 2010 when a small group of interested law firms formed a working group to try and address the legal needs of low income arts organisations across England and Wales. Since 2012, a pro bono referral initiative has seen firms assist arts groups across the country on a wide range of legal issues.
This scholarship will enable a law student to support the LVFA initiative whilst gaining practical experience of the pro bono advice sector and financial support. Find out more about this opportunity on the LVFA Scholarship page.
Bursaries and Scholarships
The School of Law has a number of bursaries and scholarships available to students throughout the academic year. Please refer to the bursaries and scholarships page for more information.
