Chris Chang, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Global Engagement and Student Life, said: “We are delighted to be awarded this funding to enable our students to take part in such activities and gain experience with living, studying and working abroad. Our 2025 Strategy commits us to engaging our students in a life changing experience. The Turing scheme provides our students with the help needed to participate in such career-enhancing activities.”

It will provide funding for international opportunities to work and study in more than 150 countries around the world, including destinations such as USA, Australia and South Korea.
