New Government funding will enable more university students than ever before to study or work abroad as part of their degree course.
The Turing Scheme, the UK Government’s global programme, provides funding for international education and training opportunities across the world.
The University of Lincoln has been awarded almost half a million pounds through the scheme, which will mean even more opportunities for students to undertake overseas travel, ranging from short-term study trips to semester and year-long placements abroad.
Dr David Cobham, Associate Pro Vice Chancellor and Dean for Global Engagement, said: “We’re delighted that our bid for the Government’s Turing Scheme has been so successful. This will enable more of our students to benefit from the opportunity to expand their horizons by living and learning overseas.”
The Turing scheme will ultimately replace the Erasmus+ programme in the UK and places a strong emphasis on widening participation and promoting equal access to overseas study visits for students of all backgrounds.
