Funding for Cambridge BA Law with affiliated status
Hi there,
Does anyone know what funding can be secured for senior status (ie two-year) BA Law degrees in the UK, and how?
I've decided to retrain as a barrister from a non-law background (recent Oxford graduate '24). Looking at senior status LLBs as well as GDLs. There seems to be very much less funding available for LLBs as a second undergraduate degree, so I just wondered. (E.g. by comparison, I'd be fairly competitive for a tuition-free masters in Oxford if I wanted, but I'm pushing 25 and I want to get on with it). I'm not really in a position to self-fund, so funding is a very significant concern for me.
I'm particularly considering Cambridge's BA Law with affiliated status [1], for which I can apply to certain mature colleges (Hughes Hall, St Edmund's, Wolfson) by March. I will of course contact these colleges separately.
Very grateful for any advice. Thanks.

If it's any help to anyone reading – I've enquired with mature colleges, the Faculty of Law and the Cambridge Trust and the answer is little to nothing (at least to me as a UK student).
