Turing scheme

The Turing Scheme provides funding for students studying in the UK to undertake periods of study or work placement across the world. This enables the University to provide students with the opportunity to develop new skills, gain international experience and improve their employability. In addition, students can develop a range of soft skills, enhance their language skills and develop their intercultural awareness.

Students cannot apply directly to the Turing team for funding. Universities submit an institutional bid based on predicted mobilities for the next funding cycle. Please note that individual student funding is not guaranteed even if the University is successful in attracting funding. In cases where demand for eligible mobility placements exceeds the funding amount the University was allocated, the disbursement of funding will take place based on Widening Participation principles in line with the aims and objectives of the Turing Scheme.

Please reach out to the Global Mobility and Engagement team on studyabroad@brookes.ac.uk for more information on Turing funding available in any given year.

“I went to America, North Carolina and I went to a university called High Point University. We left [the UK] in early January and the course ended in May but we stayed in the States and we managed to travel around a bit while we were there which was so much fun. The university was great, very easy, it was immediately obvious that it was all worth it”
