Our Bursary Scheme offers students valuable support through a combination of financial assistance and practical work experience, helping them progress toward a successful legal career in the Channel Islands.
The scheme is open to local candidates studying for a degree in any subject at university who intend to pursue a legal career in Guernsey or Jersey.
Recipients benefit from:
- An annual financial allowance, paid in three instalments
- Up to eight weeks of paid work experience during holiday periods
- A voucher for study materials for all new bursary students
We strongly encourage bursary students to make the most of the work experience available to them. It offers invaluable exposure to our core practice areas and provides a genuine insight into life at Bedell Cristin and the work we undertake for our clients.
In addition to financial assistance, we are committed to building long-term relationships with our bursary students. Throughout your studies, you will have access to guidance, support and advice from our experienced lawyers and professionals as you make important decisions about your future career.
Many of our bursary students have gone on to join our Trainee Scheme after graduation, continuing their professional journey with Bedell Cristin and developing their careers within the firm.
