Temat: London School of Economics: Sir Siegmund Warburg...

The Sir Siegmund Warburg scholarship offers students the opportunity to undertake full-time postgraduate human rights study at LSE.

The MSc Human Rights programme offers a concentrated, twelve-month engagement with human rights. The core course ‘Approaches to Human Rights’ provides students with an overview of the various philosophical, sociological and legal approaches to the subject. The core course is designed to give a strong intellectual underpinning to the MSc, which is then built on further through the choice of optional courses and dissertation subject which each student makes. More information about the MSc Human Rights is in the graduate prospectus.

The scholarship will cover the tuition fee (£14,904) and living expenses of £1000 per month (for up to 12 months). One scholarship will be awarded each year.

How to apply

Make a formal application to the LSE to the MSc Human Rights via the online LSE application form.

Once holding an offer of a place, eligible students will be invited to apply for the Sir Siegmund Warburg Scholarship.


The criteria

Applicants must be able to demonstrate both financial need and the potential to engage in, promote and set high standards for human rights work in the region. Eligible applicants will be required to submit a personal statement in which they should explain how they meet the criteria set out for the Scholarship and how they envisage putting their study programme to practical use.

As scholarship applications can only be accepted by those who have already been offered a place on the MSc Human Rights, candidates are urged to apply to the MSc Human Rights as early as possible.
