Northumbria University are giving you the opportunity to
spend 2-8 weeks living abroad on a partially funded programme! Students who
have completed a course within the last 12 months are invited to participate in
an International Short Programme, where you can have a rewarding experience
working or volunteering in an exciting new country. We have over 15 short
programmes available to you across a range of different countries, so there’s
plenty of choice for you to expand your skills and embrace a new culture.
These programmes are a fantastic way to improve your
employability by gaining new skills and demonstrating to employers your
willingness to go outside your comfort zone.
The International Mobility Team are able to support
graduates with generous funding through the Turing scheme, which can make a
significant contribution towards financing your experience abroad. Funding is
available to all students who are within 12 months of completing a course,
however the amount of funding depends on your chosen programme and varies
depending on whether you meet widening participation criteria. Full information
on funding can be found on the webpage for each opportunity.
Applications are now OPEN. Programmes will have rolling deadlines dependant on the
latest date the provider can accept students. Please check each Opportunity page for the related deadline.
Applications will still be reviewed on a competitive basis. To ensure you have
sufficient time to make travel arrangements, we strongly advise applying
before 31 March 2026.

limited funded spaces remaining we are now only able to offer a maximum
