Giving

We attract the very best graduate students for our taught and research degrees. The generosity of friends and alumni of the faculty ensures outstanding students can be supported to study with us. 

Make a gift today to support our scholars or contact us for an exploratory conversation about a more significant targeted gift to support students on a specific programme. 

Build global leadership in law, governance and AI through new academic posts and supporting students in MSc in Law, Governance and Artificial Intelligence, through scholarships. We are looking for endowed and spend-down gifts to fund:

MSc Law, Governance & AI Scholarships – enabling tomorrow’s leaders and legal tech entrepreneurs to navigate the legal, ethical and regulatory challenges of AI

DPhil Scholarships - doctoral students undertaking world-leading research and analysing echnological developments in real time. DPhil research is the engine behind future practical research projects that can later be scaled

Statutory Professor in Law, Governance and AI - an academic of the highest international calibre with a world-leading research reputation

Associate Professor in Computational Legal Methods / Law, Governance and AI - to supervise DPhil research and teach MSc students, while developing interdisciplinary research in collaboration with the Department of Politics and International Relations

Associate Professor in Law and Regulation of AI - to supervise DPhil candidates and teach MSc students in collaboration with the Institute for Ethics in AI and Reuben College

We are committed to supporting exceptional graduate students.  Every year, around half of Oxford Law's postgraduate offer holders are unable to take up their places because of financial constraints. Rising living costs, increasing undergraduate debt and limited public funding mean that postgraduate study is becoming inaccessible for many outstanding students. The consequence is significant: Oxford, the legal profession and society risk losing talented people who could make an outstanding contribution.  

Through your generosity we can help exceptional graduate students to overcome these barriers by offering full or partial targeted scholarships for DPhil candidates or students on one of our taught master's programmes.

Exceptional legal talent exists in every part of society, but opportunity does not. Highly capable young people can be deterred from our undergraduate programme by social, economic and cultural barriers, misconceptions about the University, limited guidance and educational opportunities, or expectations that do not reflect their true potential.  

Philanthropic investment will enable us to:  

• Reach talented pupils in areas where applications to study here remain low  
• Create digital legal-learning and virtual access resources for KS2-KS5 school pupils  
• Support teachers  
• Offer travel bursaries for pupils to attend our access sessions in person.   

A gift to the fulfilling outstanding potential programme will also allow us to expand targeted academic, mentoring and employability support for students from socially mobile backgrounds once they arrive at Oxford.   

Finally, you can help us to generate robust evidence about what works, with the potential to influence widening participation and talent development across legal education and the profession.
