academic standard, however it is achieved.

applicant may study on campus at King’s

‘I chose to study the LLB with the
University of London because I
knew that it is a very much sought
after degree and would open
more doors for me in the legal
fraternity. Receiving the King’s
scholarship has further proven
that I made the right choice.’
