Fees and Funding
Discover how undertaking a full year or semester placement will affect tuition fees and student loans, and what funding is available to you.
Tuition Fees
If you are completing a full year of semester study exchange, you will not have to pay tuition fees to the partner institution. Some partners may charge a social fee which might include access to specific services, travel passes etc.
Students who complete a full year abroad pay a reduced tuition fee to 缅北禁地. Although you're not studying with us, this means you'll still be registered as a 缅北禁地 student while on your exchange which is really important to access relevant university services. Find out more about Undergraduate placement year fees on our Tuition Fees page.
Students who complete a semester abroad pay the normal tuition fees to 缅北禁地.
Student loans and bursaries
You can still apply for your normal student loan or bursary for the time that you spend abroad. The majority of students rely on this for financial support while abroad, just as you would if you were living in 缅北禁地.
You may also be able to claim money back on travel and other costs related to your placement through Student Finance England’s Travel Grant.

Working while abroad
Working part-time is often a popular option for students studying abroad.
This can be a good way to supplement your income and further integrate into your university/city community, alongside learning or further developing your skills and boosting your employability.
However, there are a few things to consider before undertaking any part-time work abroad.
Visa implications
It’s really important to ensure that you are not infringing the terms of your student visa - a number of countries/territories will not allow you to work on a student visa. Other countries/territories will allow you to work, but you may only be able to work a set number of hours per week/month. There may be some information about this on your host university’s website, or your host country’s .
CVs and applications
You may need to edit your current CV to conform to the local format. It’s common in some countries for CVs to contain a professional, passport-style photo, and you may find the CV forms in some countries contain some sections not generally found in a UK CV format. Your host university may have a careers service with advice on CV and application writing. You can also find some useful information about local work culture and applications through the GoinGlobal platform.
Additional funding
