Fund your future in Law

The world of work is changing and the skills needed to succeed are changing too. That's why the University of Birmingham created the Future Skills Scholarship: to support ambitious students from India who are ready to build the strategic, digital and analytical capabilities that global employers are competing for.

What is the India Future Skills Scholarship?

The India Future Skills Scholarship is a £9,125 award for students domiciled in India who are ready to develop the skills that drive growth for the world's leading organisations.

The scholarship is automatically applied against your tuition fees. There's no separate application to complete. Once you hold an unconditional offer for any LLM course (excluding the online LLM Energy and Environmental Law distance learning course) and meet the eligibility criteria, the award is yours.

You can view the full eligibility criteria on The India Future Skills Scholarship webpage.
