The University of London is delighted to announce the Mary Stiasny Scholarships, a prestigious global award aimed at supporting exceptional undergraduate students from Pakistan who wish to pursue the LLB Law programme. This scholarship is part of the University’s ongoing commitment to transforming lives through education and is named in honor of Professor Mary Stiasny OBE, the University’s former Pro Vice-Chancellor (International, Teaching and Learning), whose retirement in June marked the end of a distinguished career.
