If you are able to join a ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ Go trip, then tutors will be speaking to you about. Unfortunately, we don’t yet have funding to offer the experience to all students in all vocational areas, but we will continue to look for opportunities that will benefit our students.Â
Whilst you will be asked to make a small contribution, the majority of costs are covered by funding from the UK Governments Turing Scheme. ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ has successfully bid for funding for many years and is pleased to be able to offer our students this fantastic opportunity.
We have secured Turing funding for the academic year ahead (2024/25).
The Turing Scheme is the UK Government’s global programme to allow students to study and work abroad through education and training. This scheme offers life changing experiences across the world for Further Education and Vocational Education learners.
