Turing scheme funding for international study or work

Studying or working abroad is a fantastic opportunity to broaden your horizons and gain valuable skills and experience which will enhance your employability.

As a èצӰÏñ student of any nationality, you are eligible to apply for support with funding international study, volunteering or work placement opportunities anywhere in the world through the Turing Scheme.

Am I eligible?

To receive Turing Scheme funding, you must be registered at as a current student at the èצӰÏñ and enrolled in studies leading to a recognised degree or another recognised tertiary level qualification (up to and including the level of doctorate).

Participants do not need to be UK nationals to be eligible for the scheme.

How does it work?

Students who meet the eligibility criteria can undertake both study and work placements abroad. These placements can last anything between four weeks and 12 months.

Placements should be part of your academic year 2024-25 programme of study and must be completed by 31 August 2025. We can also fund independently-arranged activities (mobilities) which are not connected to your course of study, for example, summer jobs overseas.

Please note that Turing Scheme funding cannot be used towards specific activity costs that are already funded from a different source.

What kind of placement can I do?

You can undertake study or work placement at a range of organisations, such as universities, charities or employers.

There are no restrictions on the country/territory in which the placement takes place. However,  (FCDO) must be adhered to.

Please note that the Turing Scheme does not provide opportunities you can apply to directly.

Supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds

The government are particularly keen to support students from backgrounds where travel to an overseas destination for work or study might not otherwise be possible without additional funding, and students from certain underrepresented groups. A higher level of funding is available to some students.

What next?

To find out if your course offers Study Abroad exchange opportunities, please contact your course leader.

You can also book a one-to-one appointment in  with a Career Development Adviser who can help you to consider your options and find opportunities. 

You can use these appointments to discuss your options if you are interested in undertaking an independent work placement or study abroad mobility this summer.

Frequently asked questions

  • Any student who is undertaking a period of work or study abroad is eligible to receiving Turing funding; undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students. You can be doing a study abroad exchange, or a work placement. The placement does not need to be a credit bearing part of your course (for example it can be a summer school). The mobility should be between 4 weeks and 12 months in duration and (for this academic year) finish before 31 August 2023.

  • The amount you can receive depends on the destination, the duration, and whether you are identified as a disadvantaged student.

    Monthly amounts range from £335 to £665.

    Disadvantaged students will also be eligible for a travel grant to cover direct travel costs, dependent on the distance travelled. There is also funding available for exceptional costs, such as passports and visas.

    Disadvantaged students are especially encouraged to get in touch with the Turing Scheme if they are concerned about the costs involved in undertaking an overseas mobility opportunity.

  • Turing Scheme funding allows you to travel anywhere in the world (outside the UK) as long as it is not a location advised against travel to by the FCDO.
