Can you get funding?

You may be thinking about studying or working abroad, but you’ve probably got some questions about the financial implications.

The good news is that there can be financial benefits to studying or working overseas.

While the cost of studying at some of the world’s most famous universities may seem out of reach, you can also find world-class universities with fees that are lower than you would pay at a UK university.

And there’s financial support available to help you make the best of your time abroad - whether it’s help with fees or living costs, bursaries or scholarships, there are options to help fund your time away.

You’ll want to contact your home university about exchange programmes or international awards. If you’re heading for a short-term or study placement, you may keep on receiving your UK student loan, as well as a placement grant and help with your travel costs.

This section looks at some funding and financial support options that are worth exploring.
