The University of London offers these scholarships for refugees and displaced people undertaking selected distance-learning degrees. The 2026/27 round is open, but awards are allocated first come, first served and several programme allocations are already exhausted.
The current page lists five LLB scholarships and three MSc Professional Accountancy scholarships without an exhausted notice; all other displayed allocations are marked as having no further 2026/27 places. Recipients study online from wherever they are.
Benefits & funding
- The scholarship covers the full course fee and is applied against fees payable to the University of London.
- The award remains valid for the chosen programme’s maximum registration period, subject to annual review.
- A recipient may combine it with other funding, but not with another University of London bursary or scholarship.
- Recipients must pass at least two examinations in each registered year; failure to do so may lead to withdrawal of the award.
- The official page does not state support for living costs, travel or equipment.
Eligibility
- The applicant must hold an offer for one of the eligible University of London programmes listed on the scholarship page and apply only where a 2026/27 allocation remains available.
- The applicant must be a new student, or a current University of London student who became displaced during their studies.
- Refugee or displaced-person status must be supported by current formal documentation with valid start and end dates.
- The University gives priority to applicants who do not already hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree; this is a preference, not a stated exclusion.
- No nationality, residence, age, gender or work-experience restriction is stated.
