What are the subsidies for out-of-London Students?
Inner Temple
● Education Day
This qualifying session is
specifically tailored for students
studying at providers outside
London. Sessions include ethics,
advice on pupillage applications
and the pitfalls of the early years
of practice.
Able to organise up to three local
qualifying sessions - the Inn will
provide assistance and funding.
Middle Temple
Lincoln's Inn
Gray's Inn
Most Qualifying Sessions are
available to Out of London (OOL)
students free of charge. ● May arrange up to four
Qualifying Sessions at a location
near their BPTC provider. The introductory events in London
(qualify for 3 QS) would provide free
accommodations.
Exceptions are the residential
weekends at Cumberland Lodge
and in York, heavily subsidised for
all participating students, and
some events in Hall for which a
small surcharge is made. Student’s Opinion:
“Does not waive dining fee for
outside London students (Middle
Temple does)” The other collaborative circuits would
provide residential (costs around
GBP60-80 inc dinner). Meaning 6 out
of 11 QS, accommodation is either
free/ subsidised.
May accrue up to 4 of their 12
Qualifying Sessions at events not
organised by the Inn.
Transport subsidies are not available.
Student Advice:
“Gray's is smaller and that means
there's more interaction between
students, benchers and the education
department,”
“My impression is that you get more
one-on-one help and advice here than
at other Inns.”
