Funding

The University now participates in the Turing Scheme, the UK Government’s national mobility scheme supporting students working or studying overseas.

As funding is limited, financial support is currently only available to:

• students undertaking mandatory* work or study abroad as an integral requirement of their undergraduate degree, and
• students participating in optional exchanges or placements who also meet the Widening Participation criteria outlined on the Turing Scheme webpage linked below.

Turing Scheme

We therefore strongly encourage students who are not eligible for Turing Scheme funding to plan carefully and consider how they will cover the associated costs of their placement abroad.

For the academic year 2026/27 funding has only been confirmed for students going on a mandatory work or study abroad activity.

*Mandatory exchanges or placements are defined as credit-bearing international study or work opportunities that are built into the degree programme and for which no UK-based alternative exists (for example single or joint honours in Languages, International Business, Law with a Language, or Physics with a Year Abroad).
