Vice-Chancellor’s Award for International Travel:
In recognition of the ongoing support for study abroad from the Vice-Chancellor, all students allocated to study abroad through inter-campus exchange to the China or Malaysia Campus during 2026/2027 will each receive an automatic bursary, paid to them by bank transfer prior to the start of their exchange.

Students, who receive funding from Student Finance, are means-tested for support and have been allocated to study abroad through inter-campus exchange during 2026/28 will be automatically assessed for this addtional funding.
