Scholarships 

The Placements and International Programmes Office will keep you informed of any scholarship schemes that may be relevant to you, but it is worth looking around yourself for additional sources of funding which may help towards the additional expenses you will incur during your period abroad. Careful and patient research may yield some organisations which are prepared to give you financial assistance.
