Description
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.
Who can apply?
We welcome applications from Jersey students who are:
- 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.
What happens next?
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.
Closing date: 31 January 2027
