You've heard about the new student mobility scheme in the UK, but what do the key players actually think about it? Let us take a look at how the initial phase of the UK Turing Scheme rollout is viewed.

Michelle Donnelan has praised the new UK Turing Scheme as a key new pillar to creating “truly global citizens”.

Why is it better than anyting previously?

Students from all areas of education within the UK are eligible, not just from wealthy backgrounds. The scheme hope to target an even playing field for all students, despite the level of difference found in their financial capabilities, or their background.

What experts are saying about it?

So far, the Scheme has been widely heralded as the coming of age for UK Student Mobility. Initially, there were concerns when the government selected to removed the UK from the Erasmus Programme. However, with more details emerging about how the Scheme will benefit students, the attitudes have changed to a more positive outlook for student mobility among british students.

How much is being spent by the Uk Government?

It is estimated that the scheme will cost £110 Millon for the 35,000 students expected to benefit.

Where can I go?

Applications for participating Universities in this round have just closed, with strong interest accross the globe. The list of available destinations will be published shortly.
