Turing Scheme
The Turing Scheme is the UK government’s global mobility programme, delivered by the Department for Education, and provides funding for students to gain international experience, develop skills and boost employability.
The Turing Scheme focuses on the following aims:
- enhancing skills;
- advancing social justice;
- ensuring value for money.
Institutions are required to bid for Turing Scheme funding for specific activities on an annual basis. Students cannot apply directly for funding themselves. Cambridge students will be informed by their Faculty or Department if they are eligible to apply for funding under the scheme. Due to a limited budget allocation, funding is targeted to support students who are in financial need. This also supports the aims of the scheme outlined above.
