    I was at the Kings Inn open day on Wednesday and the topic of financing came up. The lecturer said that there are different forms of funding available such as the McCarthy Bursary. I'm just wondering how this bursary is decided. Is it normally given to someone with excellent grades or can anyone avail of it?

    By essay and personal statement. Keep an eye on the KI website for the link.

    Just another question. A guy was telling me for those who find it difficult to find funding for Kings Inn are advised to take up the part time degree which is in the region of 6,000 a year which makes it more affordable. Are there many who take this option?

    Yeah lots take that option, but most so they can work full time. Its really only for if you have a job, but I suppose you do get to pay over 2 years so it helps.

    Speak to the KI about funding issues if you have one. They have another mechanism for helping students, aside from the bursary.

    I always thought it would be better to bite the bullet and go full whack for the full time course - start of October to end of May (including exams, as far as I know). You wouldn't see the time fly in I'm sure.
