Scholarships

We believe where you come from doesn’t have to define where you’re going. And while there are financial commitments that come with university study, this shouldn’t stop you from pursuing your goals. That’s why we offer almost 500 scholarships to support you along the way.

Learning abroad: Going overseas during your degree

You want to see the world. And we want to help you change the way you see it.

Experience a new perspective by studying overseas and gain credit towards your degree at the same time. We have more than 200 partner institutions and a huge range of international opportunities for you to choose from.

You can join a study tour, complete an internship, do a semester or short exchange, participate in community engagement, take our unique international Core Curriculum program, or head to our Rome Campus.

Learning abroad programs can be as short as two weeks or as long as a year, and there are generous travel grants available.

Virtual global learning programs are also available for students wishing to gain an international study experience from the comfort of their own home.

Please note, overseas travel opportunities are subject to public health restrictions in place at the planned time of travel.

Our Core Curriculum helps students look at the world with empathy and confidence; to listen, take the lead and challenge stereotypes. There is no better place to practice these skills than studying overseas. We offer the opportunity to study the Core Curriculum abroad in Rome, Beijing, New York or Leeds. Please note, overseas travel opportunities are subject to public health restrictions in place at the planned time of travel.
