Subject to satisfactory progress, the scholarships lead to the award of a Masters.

You will have to complete a Graduate Admissions Applications Pack. (This requires that you submit a number of additional documents, such as academic references.)
It may be that you will not be given an original copy of the Graduate Admissions Form, but rather a photocopy of the form. This is equally valid.
You must submit all the necessary documents to British Council office at the address below by 22 January 2007 at the latest (one original set plus two complete photocopied sets).
Please note the following important points:
Incomplete applications will not be considered , three complete copies (the original and two photocopies) of your application must be received.
The overall impression of your application will be taken into consideration. Applications should be typed if possible or, if this is not feasible, they should be written clearly - with defined paragraphs and margins. If we cannot read the application then it is unlikely to succeed.
References - please note these must be academic (from the institution where you gained your degree). References relating to work you have undertaken will not be considered .
Statement of Purpose - this should be clear and concise. You should remain within the 500 word guideline as only the first 500 words of your statement will be taken into consideration .
If your application for a scholarship for the MA or LLM is unsuccessful we cannot subsequently forward your application to the University for consideration. If you want to make a separate application to the University then please contact the relevant department.
Applicants are expected to reach the required level of English language.
Completed applications should be sent (together with two photocopies) to your British Council Co-ordinator. You must NOT send the completed application form direct to the University and you must NOT send it by e-mail. Any applications sent direct to the University of Essex or by email will not be considered. Ensure that you retain a copy of your application for yourself.
How does the selection procedure work?
All applications will be sent by the British Council representatives to the Human Rights Centre at Essex. Applications will be considered by selectors for the programmes at the University who will prepare a short-list of applicants who will be invited for interview. By the end of March 2007 applicants will be informed as to whether they have been invited for interview and later on as to whether they would need to sit for an English language test. It is expected that these will take place in March/early April 2007. The final decisions as to which applicants will be offered scholarships will not be taken at the time of the interviews. These decisions will be taken later by the Human Rights Centre (in conjunction with OSI and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office). It is hoped to inform all applicants by the end of June 2007 as to whether they have been successful, or not.
Please note that successful applicants will be requested to attend a 1-month Pre-Academic Summer Programme starting at the end of June/beginning of July 2007. The exact date and location of Pre-Academic Summer Programme will be available at a later stage of the selection process.
