Schools, colleges and universities can now apply for funding to allow students to study and work across the globe as part of the new Turing Scheme which replaces Erasmus+. International opportunities are a key part of our world-renowned education sector, and this scheme will enable more young people than ever before to benefit and succeed.
The programme, backed by £110 million, will fund 35,000 global exchanges from September 2021 including university study, school exchanges and industry work placements. It will target students from disadvantaged backgrounds, making life-changing opportunities accessible to everyone. Benefits to students include funding towards living costs for university students from disadvantaged backgrounds alongside travel funding and other forms of funding to offset the cost of passports, visas and insurance.
Unlike Erasmus+, the Turing Scheme is a truly global programme and every country in the world is eligible to partner with UK universities, schools and colleges.
