Post Graduate courses

The Kalisher Trust is proud to sponsor a number of higher degrees, Masters and Doctorates at prestigious universities such as Wadham College Oxford, Queen Mary College London and Birmingham University LLM.

These post graduate scholarships are intended to encourage and assist those intending to practise at the Criminal Bar who demonstrate “exceptional promise but modest means”. Amongst the qualities we look for in candidates are:-

  • Intellectual ability – demonstrated by academic performance, past work, activities and other experience.
  • Motivation to succeed at the Criminal Bar – including steps taken to acquire the personal skills required of a Barrister, and a demonstration of the will to succeed.
  • Potential as an advocate – both in oral and written skills.
  • Personal qualities – including self-reliance, independence, integrity, reliability and humanity.
  • Financial need – candidates will be asked to supply to the interview panel, in confidence, information demonstrating financial need.
