This scholarship is available to pursue a Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and/or the Master of Law (LLB) course at the University of London, UK. But this study will be by distance learning in 2024.
You can check out Merits and demerits of studying abroad through distance learning.
The scholarship is provided by the University of London and Canon Collins Trust, the same organization offering the RMTF Scholarships for Postgraduate in South Africa.
According to the providers, you can start at the Postgraduate Certificate level and work your way through to the LLM. Or you can stop after completing the PG Certificate.
