Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has teamed up with University College London (UCL) to launch a bursary scheme that will see two law students each year selected to receive £10,000, in addition to work experience and a guaranteed training contract interview with the firm.
The scheme, intended for students from less privileged social and economic backgrounds, will see the students receive an annual bursary of £10,000 towards maintenance expenses as well as eight weeks’ paid work experience each year, split across university holidays.
