Faculty of Law Scholarships

Faculty of Law Scholarship

The Faculty of Law may also offer its own scholarship funding (a Faculty of Law scholarship), which may be available to both domestic and international students. The terms and conditions of, and entitlements under, these scholarships are equivalent to those that govern Australian Postgraduate Awards and Tasmania Graduate Research Scholarships. The availability of Faculty of Law scholarships is dependent on Faculty resources, and its award is determined on a competitive basis. Its award is determined by the Research & Postgraduate Committee, which takes into account:

• the applicant’s previous academic performance (an honours degree or equivalent is ordinarily a prerequisite for consideration in this regard);

• the relevance of the chosen topic of study to the Faculty’s research interests;

• the ability of the Faculty to offer appropriate supervision

• the applicant’s professional or work experience; and

• the financial resources available to the applicant.

As a matter of practice, applicants for a Faculty of Law scholarship should first seek other scholarship funding (such as an APA award, a Tasmania Graduate Research Scholarship, or an International Postgraduate Research Scholarship or other suitable scholarships) before applying for a Faculty of Law scholarship.
