Funding through Taith and Turing Scheme
All UWTSD students who submit a Go Global Application will be automatically considered for funding. The Outward Mobility Team will place you under either Taith or Turing funding, depending on your unique circumstances. Students going abroad will not need to apply for this funding. This funding will not cover all costs, but is meant to help supplement students personal savings, loans, and other financial sources to go abroad.
There is additional funding available for students from a Widening Participation (WP) background (e.g. those with low household income, students with caring responsibilities, student refugees, etc.) To find out if you qualify, please see the checklist in the ‘Glossary of Useful Terms’ found in the Go Global Handbook.
