University scholarships, bursaries and discounts
Malaysia Law Scholarship (LLB)
The University of Leicester’s Law School is one of the largest and most international law schools in the United Kingdom.
We are proud to welcome LLB Law students from Malaysia each year. The University of Leicester has a long-standing partnership with Brickfields Asia College and Advance Tertiary College enabling Malaysian students to enter the Second or Third Year of our UK LLB programme. Our students graduate with a qualifying law degree which satisfies the entry requirements for the Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) in Malaysia and bar courses (Bar Professional Course or Bar Training Course) in the UK.
What’s on offer?
A tuition fee scholarship awarded to a Malaysian (applicants domiciled in Malaysia can be any nationality with international fee-paying status but reside in Malaysia) domiciled international fee-paying student worth up to £30,000 over the duration of three years. This scholarship awards a £10,000 tuition fee discount per year for up to three years to study the LLB (Year 1, 2 or 3 entry) programme commencing September 2025.
Eligibility
- You must be starting a full-time undergraduate programme, commencing in September 2025 for the Year 1, 2 or 3 LLB programme.
- You must be classed as an international student for fee purposes.
What do I need to do?
To be considered, you need to create a short video (no more than 2 min) which answers these three questions:
- What do you want to achieve after university?
- How will your chosen degree help you achieve this?
- How will you contribute to the University community while you’re here?
Submit your video by completing the application form
Videos should be submitted as a link to Google Drive, YouTube, Instagram or TikTok in the section indicated in the application form. However, if sharing it as a link to your Instagram post, please remember we are only able to view this if you set your profile to ‘public’ or follow @leicester.esea.
We're not looking for filmmaking or acting skills, but instead how you approach and answer the questions. And, you don’t need to be in the video yourself if you don’t want to be.
Scoring
How are we scoring your videos? We are looking at three main categories and we’ve included some guidance below to show you what we will be looking out for.
Realism
In this category, we’re looking at the feasibility of your answers. Is it possible and do your answers show you’ve given thought and consideration to the viability of your plans for your university life and your future?
Creativity
By creativity, we don’t mean how good your video skills are. This is about your thought process, your idea and how you’ve approached the topic and how you’ve demonstrated your idea. Does your plan stand out from the crowd?
Impact
At Leicester, we are Citizens of Change working for a better future through diverse understanding and ambitious research. We champion diversity and unite in our ambition to pursue knowledge that has an impact in making our world a better place. Will your plans for during and after your LLB impact the world for the better? No matter how big or small we will be looking at how well you have demonstrated the impact you could make in the world.
