The University of Sussex has secured £727,000 in funding from the UK Government's Turing Scheme.
The Turing Scheme provides global opportunities in education and training for students attending UK schools, colleges, and universities.
Sussex is proud to have one of the largest and oldest study abroad networks in the UK, having facilitated overseas studies since the 1960s. Through this approach, the University supports over 700 students a year to participate in global internships, field trips and other short-term placements. Furthermore, Sussex is 8th place in Student Mobility, in the World Universities with Impact Ranking 2021 and 2022
Earlier this year, we submitted a detailed application for 2022/23 to the Turing Scheme, to apply for part of its higher education funding stream. We received £727,000, which is 11.5% more than our 2021/22 award.
Richard Follett, Deputy Pro Vice Chancellor International at for the University of Sussex, said:
“This is indeed great news. This award is hugely beneficial to students. As a truly international university with colleagues and undergraduates from across the globe, this funding will help us to amplify the opportunities we offer and build stronger relationships.”
We are looking forward to continuing our centrally led summer school activities with our strategic partners: the University of Ghana; Tata Institute of Social Sciences; Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México; Mahidol University and Zhejiang Gongshang University.
