Bursary Student 2026 - Guernsey

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 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 encourage our bursary students to make the most of their work experience, as it provides invaluable exposure to our core practice areas and offers a genuine insight into the type of work we do.

Beyond financial support, we aim to build lasting relationships with our bursary students by offering guidance and advice from our experienced teams as you make important career decisions.

Many of our bursary students have successfully transitioned onto our Trainee Scheme upon graduation, continuing their journey with Bedell Cristin.
