Canadian students applying to study Law at Queen’s University Belfast can now access up to £6,500 in scholarship funding for 2026 entry — one of the most competitive international scholarship packages available at a Russell Group university in the UK.
New Academic Excellence Bonus: £5,000 Total for 2026 Entry
Queen’s University Belfast has confirmed a significant enhancement to its existing scholarship offer for Canadian applicants entering the LLB Law Senior Status programme in September 2026.
The new Academic Excellence Bonus adds an automatic £1,000 award on top of the existing £4,000 scholarship, bringing the guaranteed total to £5,000 for all eligible offer holders. No separate application is required — the full award is applied automatically once an offer is made.
On top of this, students who confirm their place early can qualify for an additional £1,500 Early Confirmation Award, bringing the total potential scholarship value to £6,500.
These awards are available to Canadian applicants applying for the LLB Law Senior Status route. For full eligibility details and terms, visit the Academic Excellence — LLB Law Senior Status International Scholarship (Canada) page on the Queen’s University Belfast website.
Looking Ahead: Scholarship Increasing to £5,000 for 2027 Entry
Queen’s has also confirmed that for students planning 2027 entry, the Senior Status Scholarship base award will increase to £5,000 — a strong signal of the university’s commitment to attracting top Canadian talent to Belfast.
