We understand that funding an international elective placement can be difficult and stressful. Most universities have their own travel funding available to support students, so we advise that you start by asking your international offices, placement managers and personal tutors. In particular, you should ask about the 'Turing Scheme' which several Universities have successfully applied for. External funding can also be found by asking friends, colleagues, tutors or searching the internet. We are happy to support students with fundraising and crowdfunding initiatives.
Any healthcare students completing placements with us as a formally accredited part of their academic programme can access the NHS Learning Support Fund to reclaim some placement costs - please contact us for more information about this.
If you have any questions or concerns about your placement costs, please contact us and we can discuss funding opportunities and flexible payment options.
