The UK government decided not to seek participation in the new Erasmus+ programme. The UK government will instead launch the Turing scheme.
The Turing Scheme is the UK government’s global programme to study and work abroad. The scheme provides funding for international opportunities in education and training across the world. The Turing Scheme will contribute to the UK Government’s commitment to a Global Britain, by helping organisations enhance their existing international ties and forge new relationships around the world.
The Turing Scheme will provide £110 million in funding for 35,000 students in universities, colleges and schools to go on study and work placements abroad from September 2021 to August 2022. The British Council and Ecorys are delivery partners for the first year of the scheme.
Further details on the Turing Scheme can be found on the Turing Scheme website.
Turing Scheme funded projects must focus on four main objectives:
Destination
Length of mobility
Student eligibility
Grants and funding
Funding results
The application deadline for the first programme cycle of the Scheme was Wednesday 21 April 2021. HEIs were informed of funding results at the end of July/early August 2021. More information about the funding results, successful applicant institutions and the destination countries chosen for funded activities can be found on the Turing Scheme web pages on the funding results page.
UUKi supports student mobility practitioners, through our Outward Student Mobility network which has over 217 members from our member institutions. On behalf of our members, we lobby for improvements to the Turing Scheme and through our research into outward mobility, we look at key topics and developments in this area.
