Bursary Scheme

Start building your legal career with Ogier

If you're a Jersey student planning a career in law, our student bursary gives you more than financial support while you study. It's a chance to get to know Ogier and the people you could work with as you take your first steps towards a legal career.

The bursary is available while you're at university and, where relevant, can continue while you complete further legal studies, including a law conversion course, SQE or Bar studies, subject to meeting the scheme requirements.

What you'll receive

• financial support, paid in quarterly instalments
• guaranteed work placements with Ogier
• career advice from our lawyers
• invitations to Ogier social events
• access to our library and information services
• book vouchers when you first join the scheme

• due to sit their A-Levels in the summer before joining the scheme and planning to go to university
• already studying at university
• completing a GDL or law conversion course

You don't need to be studying a law degree, but you should be planning to pursue a career in law.

Applications will be reviewed after the closing date. Successful applicants will be invited to an interview, normally taking place in February or March with a senior lawyer or partner and a member of our HR team.

• two A grades and one B grade at A-Level or higher, or the equivalent UCAS points (excluding General Studies)
• a 2:1 degree classification or above, where applicable
• a minimum of a Commendation at GDL or relevant further study level, where applicable
• maintain the academic requirements of the scheme
• complete work experience placements with Ogier, usually totalling at least two weeks each academic year
• not accept a bursary from another firm or organisation while receiving an Ogier bursary

If you're applying before receiving your results, any offer will be conditional on achieving the relevant academic requirements.
