Higher education (HE) funding can give your students a life-changing opportunity to study and work abroad with The Turing Scheme. Find out more about the different types of activities you can apply for, who is eligible to take part and how to start your HE application.
For your institution, this is an opportunity to develop your partnerships and international links. For a participant, The Turing Scheme is an opportunity to gain international experience that will benefit students personally and academically, and improve their CVs. Applications are open to organisations only, and participants cannot apply directly through the application portal.
To take part in The Turing Scheme higher education (HE) projects, you will need to meet certain criteria. In this section, you will find information on which organisations and participants can take part, the length of the projects and the types of activities.
Your organisation must be an officially recognised higher education provider registered in the UK or a British Overseas Territory.
Students registered in a UK or a British Overseas Territory HE provider and enrolled in studies leading to a recognised degree or another recognised tertiary level qualification can take part in the scheme. Students do not need to be UK nationals to be eligible for the scheme. They can be studying full-time, part-time or have recently graduated. Current students can take part in a study or traineeship placement and those who have graduated within the last 12 months can carry out a traineeship abroad.
Funding is available through The Turing Scheme for placements during the period from September 2021 to August 2022. Study or traineeship placements can last from four weeks to 12 months.
