Studying or Working Abroad
We have put together a document Working and Studying Internationally: A guide for UK students. This can be accessed via the button below.
Whilst studying at the University you may be able to take advantage of study abroad programmes, also referred to as International Study Exchanges. The Global Opportunities Team leads on these developments for the University. A major programme they can offer is The Turing Scheme.
The Turing Scheme, the UK Government’s global programme, provides funding for international education and training opportunities across the world. The University of Lincoln has been awarded funding for students to undertake overseas travel, ranging from short-term study trips to semester and year-long placements abroad.
If you have a long term disability or health condition, you may be eligible for Study abroad scholarships for students with disabilities.
To find out more, contact the University’s Global Opportunities Team at GO@lincoln.ac.uk. The team run appointments that are bookbale in advance where they will be able to support you with any queries you may have. To book an appointment, please click the button below.
