Turing Scheme to continue for further three years

The UK programme enables students from UK to study and work abroad.

The Turing scheme was introduced by the UK government earlier this year and it was also already announced that it should continue in the upcoming years. The UK governemnt confirmed that intention on 28 October in its Spending Review 2021, which directly mentions allocation of budget to support the Turing Scheme for the next three years, including £ 110 million for the academic year 2022/23. The programme will enable thousands of students from across the UK to study and do internships abroad. 

The UK government has announced its own scholarship programme after leaving EU and ending its participation in the Erasmus+ programme as well. However, unlike Erasmus+, the Turing scheme only supports outgoing mobility.

In the first Turing Scheme call for proposals in 2021/22, around £ 100 million was distributed among 363 successful applications from universities, schools and further education and training providers across the United Kingdom, to support more than 40,000 students, learners and pupils.

More information on funding for the 2022/23 academic year will be published on the Turing Scheme website.
