Overview
Applicants must be enrolled in full-time study to be eligible for the Ramsay Scholarship.
The Bachelor of Arts (Western Civilisation)/Bachelor of Laws double degree is a rigorous and stimulating intellectual program that gives you the option of combining professional legal education with a liberal arts degree in western civilisation.
