Applicants to UBC have access to a variety of funding options, including merit-based (i.e. based on your academic performance) and need-based (i.e. based on your financial situation) opportunities.
From September 2024 all full-time students in UBC-Vancouver PhD programs will be provided with a funding package of at least $24,000 for each of the first four years of their PhD. The funding package may consist of any combination of internal or external awards, teaching-related work, research assistantships, and graduate academic assistantships. Please note that many graduate programs provide funding packages that are substantially greater than $24,000 per year. Please check with your prospective graduate program for specific details of the funding provided to its PhD students.
All applicants are encouraged to review the awards listing to identify potential opportunities to fund their graduate education. The database lists merit-based scholarships and awards and allows for filtering by various criteria, such as domestic vs. international or degree level.
Many professors are able to provide Research Assistantships (GRA) from their research grants to support full-time graduate students studying under their supervision. The duties constitute part of the student's graduate degree requirements. A Graduate Research Assistantship is considered a form of fellowship for a period of graduate study and is therefore not covered by a collective agreement. Stipends vary widely, and are dependent on the field of study and the type of research grant from which the assistantship is being funded.
Graduate programs may have Teaching Assistantships available for registered full-time graduate students. Full teaching assistantships involve 12 hours work per week in preparation, lecturing, or laboratory instruction although many graduate programs offer partial TA appointments at less than 12 hours per week. Teaching assistantship rates are set by collective bargaining between the University and the Teaching Assistants' Union .
Academic Assistantships are employment opportunities to perform work that is relevant to the university or to an individual faculty member, but not to support the student’s graduate research and thesis. Wages are considered regular earnings and when paid monthly, include vacation pay.
Canadian and US applicants may qualify for governmental loans to finance their studies. Please review eligibility and types of loans .
All students may be able to access private sector or bank loans.
Many foreign governments provide support to their citizens in pursuing education abroad. International applicants should check the various governmental resources in their home country, such as the Department of Education, for available scholarships.
The possibility to pursue work to supplement income may depend on the demands the program has on students. It should be carefully weighed if work leads to prolonged program durations or whether work placements can be meaningfully embedded into a program.
International students enrolled as full-time students with a valid study permit can work on campus for unlimited hours and work off-campus for no more than 20 hours a week.
A good starting point to explore student jobs is the UBC Work Learn program or a Co-Op placement .
Students with taxable income in Canada may be able to claim federal or provincial tax credits.
Canadian residents with RRSP accounts may be able to use the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) which allows students to withdraw amounts from their registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs) to finance full-time training or education for themselves or their partner.
Please review Filing taxes in Canada on the student services website for more information.
Applicants have access to the cost estimator to develop a financial plan that takes into account various income sources and expenses.

2024 | Dr. Odionu's research focused on innovative international investment law reform approaches emerging from Africa. Drawing on those approaches, he developed a Global South-oriented reform framework that integrates foreign investment, sustainable development, and climate action. His findings present implications for the fight against climate change. |
2023 | Dr. Leslie examined how the Canadian federal government implements mortgage securitization in Canada. He found that the government provides support to banks and investors and takes risks affecting the Canadian public without meaningful public oversight. His research will assist in developing sound housing finance policy going forward. |
2023 | Dr. Nosek showed how corporations have leveraged a multi-pronged strategy to simultaneously expand their reach over public discourse on climate change while undermining important checks on influence over discourse, like public protest and government enforcement actions for false and misleading speech. |
2022 | Dr. Bateman examined the decision of the Roman Emperor Constantine to legislate Bishops into the role of judges in the Roman state. He argues that Constantine did this because of his first hand experience with bishops sitting on a panel of judges with them, and due to the fact the emperor wanted to rid the Roman courts of corruption. |
2022 | Dr. Maharaj's work examines the law on mitigation of damages for breach of contract by establishing a robust framework that explains how the doctrine applies, why it applies, when it applies, and what it actually demands of contracting parties in practice. It will benefit judges, legal counsels, and the wider scholarly community in private law. |
2022 | Dr. Ponomarenko studied the requirements the government must meet to justify a limitation of a Charter right. Currently, there is no judicial consensus on when these requirements must be strict and when they can be relaxed. Her dissertation examines this undertheorized body of jurisprudence and provides it with a principled theoretical basis. |
2022 | Dr. Aikenhead examined the Canadian criminal justice response to technology-facilitated intimate partner violence (TFIPV) through a review of recent case law. She identified concerns and gaps in the legal response from a feminist perspective. Her proposed legislative and policy reforms will assist victims of TFIPV in accessing justice. |
2022 | The law of negligence claims to deter accidental wrongdoers from causing harm. The mixed doctrinal and qualitative research in this dissertation suggest that in the law of negligence in Canada, deterrence is largely illusory. Potential wrongdoers are so well protected by liability insurance that there is little inclination to avoid causing harm. |
2021 | Dr. Sankey studied legal processes developed by Squamish Nation for land use planning and environmental assessment of natural gas projects. Her research finds that in developing policy aimed at reconciliation, Canadian governments will learn much by shifting their focus away from principles of consultation defined by Canadian courts, toward processes for achieving consent established by Indigenous nations. |
2021 | Dr. Dzah studied how Africa influences and is influenced by the concept of sustainable development. He argued that ethics and customary and Indigenous norms can revitalise the legal dimensions of this concept. He proposed ecological law as a new way to theorise and implement sustainable development and to reorganise links between society and nature. |

About the university, research at cambridge.
Finance overview Funding How to apply
The PhD is awarded after three to four years of full-time research (or five to seven years of part-time study) on the basis of a dissertation of 80,000 words (exclusive of footnotes, appendices and bibliography, but subject to an overall word limit of 100,000 words exclusive of bibliography, table of contents and any other preliminary matter). Examination for the PhD involves an oral examination (viva) by two examiners.
Research students who intend to undertake PhD research are in the first instance automatically registered for a one-year research training programme leading to the Certificate of Postgraduate Study (CPGS) in Legal Studies. They are assigned a supervisory team by the Degree Committee of the Faculty, ordinarily consisting of a supervisor (who is principally responsible for directing and assisting the research) and an advisor (who provides a second point of contact for academic advice). At the end of the first year, the Degree Committee decides whether students should be registered for the PhD. This decision is taken on the basis of the student’s personal progress log, first-year dissertation of 15,000 words, viva conducted by two assessors from within the Faculty, and outline of plans for the full research project. Candidates who successfully complete the requirements of the CPGS and the first-year progress review are retrospectively registered for the PhD.
All full-time PhD students are ordinarily required to be resident in Cambridge for the duration of their research (save where given leave to work away from Cambridge for academic reasons or whilst undertaking fieldwork), and during the first year in particular must attend weekly research training sessions in the Faculty.
This overview of the PhD programme must be read in conjunction with the detailed information available under the 'Courses' section (see, in particular, the Course Directory) of the Postgraduate Admissions website .

Next in my series on How To Fully Fund Your PhD , I provide a list below of universities that offer full funding to all students admitted to their doctoral programs and joint PHD-JD programs in law and justice studies.
When seeking funding for the 4-6 years of your doctoral studies, it is ideal to be accepted to programs offering full funding to all admitted students. When a university indicates that they provide full funding to their PhD students, in most cases this means they provide each admitted doctoral student full tuition and a stipend for living expenses for the four to six year duration of the student’s doctoral studies. Not all universities provide full funding to their doctoral students, so be sure to research the financial aid offerings of all the potential PhD programs in your academic field, including small and lesser-known schools both in the U.S. and abroad.
In the ProFellow database , we also list several competitive fellowships for graduate and doctoral study.

A law degree is no sure thing, some law school graduates earn top dollar, but many do not, find your school, full report, press release.
Is law school worth it? A Juris Doctor (JD) offers high median earnings and a substantial earnings boost relative to a bachelor’s degree in the humanities or social sciences—two of the more common fields of study that lawyers pursue as undergraduate students. However, graduates of most law schools carry substantial student loan debt, which dims the financial returns associated with a JD.
A Law Degree Is No Sure Thing: Some Law School Graduates Earn Top Dollar, but Many Do Not finds that the return on investment (ROI) in earnings and career outcomes varies widely across law schools. The median earnings net of debt payments are $72,000 four years after graduation for all law school graduates, but exceed $200,000 at seven law schools. By comparison, graduates of 33 law schools earn less than $55,000 net of debt payments four years after graduation.
To see how your law school stacks up, explore our sortable table of 186 law schools ranked by ROI metrics, including median monthly debt payments, median annual earnings, and median annual earnings net of debt payments.
Monthly debt payments are based on data from the College Scorecard. Note that these data only include federal student loans and do not capture loans from other entities such as institutions, states, or private lenders.
Earnings refer to graduates’ median yearly earnings four years after graduation.
This dollar figure represents graduates’ annual earnings net of debt payments four years after they graduate from law school. We take debt payments into account in addition to earnings because a significant debt load can offset high earnings.
Source: Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce analysis of data from the US Department of Education, College Scorecard, 2023.
Note: When computing monthly loan payments, the Department of Education assumed a 10-year repayment period and an interest rate of 7.54 percent for graduate programs.
High debt levels can negatively affect the financial returns of a law degree. Law school graduates accumulate a median of $118,500 in debt in the pursuit of their degree, which translates to high monthly loan payments for graduates of many schools. However, lower earnings and lower debt payments do not necessarily go hand-in-hand: at some institutions where graduates have the lowest earnings, monthly debt payments exceed or match those of graduates from law schools with the highest earnings.
Law schools have become increasingly diverse; however, disparities in earnings persist by race/ethnicity and gender. For example, since 2016, women have outpaced men in law school enrollments, accounting for 56 percent of all law school students in 2023. Nevertheless, women are underrepresented in the legal profession: women account for only 39 percent of all practicing lawyers. Additionally, among working lawyers, ages 25–54, the gender pay gap favors men by $28,000: female lawyers earn a median of $113,000 while male lawyers earn $141,000.
Earnings vary by race/ethnicity as well. Asian American lawyers, ages 25–54, have the highest median earnings ($132,000), followed by white ($131,000), multiracial ($125,000), Hispanic/Latino ($113,000), and Black/African American lawyers ($108,000).
Source: Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce analysis of data from the US Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS), 2009–19.
Note: This analysis is based on 25-to-34-year-old, 35-to-54-year-old, and 25-to-54-year-old lawyers working full-time, full-year. American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AI/AN/NH/PI) lawyers are not included in this analysis due to small sample size.
Passing the bar exam is a critical step before law graduates can become practicing lawyers. In 2022, 78 percent of first-time test takers passed the bar exam, and the two-year bar passage rate was 92 percent. Law schools with higher median earnings net of debt payments for graduates generally have higher bar passage rates, while law schools with lower earnings net of debt payments for graduates tend to have the lowest bar passage rates. For example, the first-time bar passage rate in 2022 was 91 percent at law schools where net median earnings exceed $100,000 four years after graduation. By comparison, at law schools where net median earnings are less than $55,000 four years after graduation, the average first-time bar passage rate was 59 percent.

A law degree’s payoff depends on your student debt, report finds.
A new report calculates the ROI from a law degree after factoring in law school student loan debt.
Graduates of many law schools carry heavy loads of debt that substantially reduce their early-career net earnings, a new report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce finds. In "A Law Degree Is No Sure Thing: Some Law School Graduates Earn Top Dollar, But Many Do Not," Georgetown CEW ranks 186 law schools based on their graduates' median earnings net of student loan debt.
Using data from the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard, the researchers calculated the return on investment for law school graduates after factoring in the amount of loan debt they incurred during their studies. Net earnings refer to median earnings four years after graduation, net of debt payments. The return-on-investment calculations do not include the additional costs of tuition, fees, and living expenses.
For all law school graduates, median earnings four years after graduation were $88,800. However, after student loan payments were subtracted from median earnings, net earnings fell to $72,000.
Four years after graduation, graduates of 33 law schools earned less than $55,000 at the median after subtracting student loan debt. At the other end of the distribution, graduates of 26 law schools earned an annual net income of at least $100,000. And annual earnings exceeded $200,000 for graduates of seven law schools: Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago, Cornell University, Stanford University, Harvard University, and Northwestern University.
Graduates of six law schools saw median net earnings of less than $40,000 per year — Appalachian School of Law, Faulkner University, Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Atlanta’s John Marshall Law, Inter American University of Puerto Rico School of Law, and Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico.
Law school graduates accumulated a median debt of $118,500 while obtaining a J.D., the researchers found. The median monthly debt payments, median annual earnings and median earnings net of debt for all 186 law schools can be found in the full report. Median earnings associated with law school degrees other than the J.D. are also included in the report.

“When it comes to law school, the best returns are concentrated among a small number of institutions, educating approximately 20% of law students,” said CEW Director and lead author Jeff Strohl, in a news release. “Graduates earn the highest salaries from highly selective institutions. The top 26 law schools lead to six-figure salaries and a bar passage rate of 97%.”
According to the report, disparities in law school outcomes are largest for women and members of marginalized racial/ethnic minority groups, who make up a larger share of enrollments at law schools where earnings are lower and unemployment for graduates is higher. The disparities are most pronounced for Black/African American and Hispanic/Latina women.
For working lawyers ages 25 to 54, the gender pay gap favors men by $28,000. Female lawyers earned a median of $113,000 while male lawyers earned $141,000. This gender pay gap is much smaller ($12,000) for entry-level lawyers, indicating that institutional barriers and attrition in the legal profession might be contributing to the unequal earnings later in lawyers’ careers.
Asian American lawyers, ages 25 to 54, have the highest median salaries ($132,000), followed by white ($131,000), multiracial ($125,000), Hispanic/Latino ($113,000), and Black/African American lawyers ($108,000).
While those median salaries are relatively high, they don’t account for the student loan payments many former law students are making years later. Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino graduates are more likely to graduate law school with higher debt than their white or Asian American peers.
The Georgetown CEW report also indicated that “prior to the pandemic-era student loan pause, law school graduates were not making significant progress in paying off student loans. At six in ten law schools, at least half of graduates held loan balances that were the same as they were at graduation, or had increased three years after completing their degree.”
“Law schools are notoriously expensive. Graduates leave law schools with a median debt burden of $118,500, and lower earnings make it harder to pay back this debt,” said Catherine Morris, report co-author and senior editor and writer at CEW. “The consequences of six-figure debt are also far-reaching for law school graduates, impacting their ability to purchase a home, start a family, and achieve other traditional markers of success.”

Home » Gold & Blue Magazine » Marianist ideals draw Bangladeshi priest to LL.M. Program
by Catherine Deyarmond
In his religious quest to assist those most in need of peace and law ministry in his home country of Bangladesh, a missionary priest found himself at the perfect place to continue his education — St. Mary’s University School of Law.
In 2010, The Rev. Balentine Bawel Talang (LL.M. ’24) was ordained a priest with the Missionary Oblates of Mary Magdalene congregation in Bangladesh.
To continue their dedication to a peace and law ministry, the Oblates determined a younger priest should study to become prepared to carry on this work. Talang was chosen for this ministry and earned his LL.B. in 2013 in his country. The congregation later decided he should further his studies by concentrating on international law.
“As a member of the peace and justice ministry team from the Missionary Oblates of Mary Magdalene congregation, we work with underprivileged people. We want to raise the voice of these people and work for justice,” said Talang, who was born and raised in Khasi, an indigenous community.
Talang said missionary priests from the Congregation of Holy Cross at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana baptized him and his family, inspiring him to study law in the U.S. Later, a fellow priest working in peace and justice for the Oblates in New York suggested Talang consider studying international law at the St. Mary’s University School of Law.
“I decided to come to St. Mary’s University to study law because of the ideals of the Marianists who established the University,” said Talang, who arrived in San Antonio in July 2023 to begin the LL.M. in International and Comparative Law . “The elements that characterize the Marianist approach to education spoke to me, especially educating for service, justice and peace. I knew this was the right place for me.”
The area’s appeal grew even stronger for Talang when he discovered San Antonio’s warm weather, like that in Bangladesh, and friendly people — including the welcoming Marianists he has lived with on campus.
“The atmosphere, professors and students all create a family spirit,” he said.
Talang said he received assistance in applying and enrolling in the Master of Laws (LL.M.) program from Jennifer Stevenson, J.D. , Assistant Dean for International Programs, and Armando Prado , Director of Graduate Law Admissions and Enrollment Management. The LL.M. allows foreign-trained lawyers or those with a J.D. to continue studying law in the United States.
“The elements that characterize the Marianist approach to education spoke to me, especially educating for service, justice and peace. I knew this was the right place for me.” The Rev. Father Valentine Bawel Talang (LL.M. ’24)
Stevenson said Talang came to St. Mary’s University to expand his prior knowledge of common law and merge it with his religious calling.
“He really is a delight, and the students enjoy having him in class,” Stevenson said. “He adapted well to student life and is a very positive person to be around.”
In a partnership with a law school in Monterrey, Mexico, a group from St. Mary’s went to Mexico in Spring 2024 to see firsthand a shelter for migrants seeking to travel from Central America to the United States.
“In addition to taking a course in U.S. and Mexico immigration law at St. Mary’s, I was able to go to Mexico for five days,” he said. “Immigration is a complex and burning issue. When you go there, you see the real struggle. We need to have a balance of the security of citizens while respecting humanity and human dignity.”
Talang’s study of international and comparative law has led him back to his origins. After finishing his St. Mary’s course work in July, Talang hopes to complete a law internship in New York City before returning to Bangladesh.
“I wanted to learn about treaties and international law,” he said. “As a member of an indigenous community in Bangladesh, we find that people are struggling with their rights and even their existence. I wish to continue doing peace and justice ministry when I return home.”

Main navigation, aging studies phd student reflects on cdc public health law fellowship experience.
Natalia Babenko presents her research at USF.
Natalia Babenko, MPH , a PhD student in the School of Aging Studies, is a spring 2024 fellow of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Public Health Law Fellowship. This fellowship provides on-the-job training for careers in public health law and policy.
"This fellowship has provided me with invaluable experiences and opportunities, particularly in advocating for aging policies and addressing the unique health challenges faced by older adults," said Babenko.
In her reflection on her experience as a CDC Public Health Law fellow, Babenko describes her interest in pursuing a career in public health law as stemming from her personal experience with her grandfather's Alzheimer's diagnosis. While she and her family cared for him, they ran into numerous health care and psychological challenges.
"The realization that individuals and families face incredible hardship with few resources ignited my passion for combatting degenerative brain diseases by leveraging the best research practices to implement community interventions through the legal framework," Babenko explained in the article .
Babenko has had the opportunity to learn from mentors within the program and network with experts in both law and public health. She has also contributed to ongoing legal projects, assessed policies, and proposed research-backed recommendations to enhance existing policies related to aging.

A Law Degree Is No Sure Thing: Some Law School Graduates Earn Top Dollar, but Many Do Not finds that the return on investment (ROI) in earnings and career outcomes varies widely across law schools. The median earnings net of debt payments are $72,000 four years after graduation for all law school graduates, but exceed $200,000 at seven law schools.
