TURING SCHEME
The Turing Scheme is the UK’s global programme for studying and working abroad, and offers funding for students to embark on once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for personal and professional development.
The funding is recognition of the University’s ambition to support students studying and working abroad, and evidence of the importance BCU places on broadening student horizons and enabling their aspirations to be met.
