We know the benefits that undertaking a global experience can bring, but before making any decisions, it’s important to consider how you will fund your placement.

The cost will depend on the type of short-term opportunity you chose. All prices will be included in our Summer Brochure and will be detailed in full on partner websites.

Some programmes might include accommodation or certain activities like a social and cultural programme in the price – make sure to check what’s included so you can budget accordingly.

If you chose a programme with an External Partner (For example Operation Wallacea, Think Pacific etc), you can find out more information on the costs of these experiences on their websites. 

GO Global Scholarship

The University was pleased to offer the ‘GO Global Scholarship’ to help support undergraduate, home fee paying students from underrepresented groups to undertake a global placement in 2024.

Sustainable Travel Grant

Newcastle University is committed to reducing its carbon footprint.

The sustainable travel grant is a one off additional payment  for Undergraduate students in receipt of the GO Global Scholarship who are travelling to destinations in the EU and who make the conscious decision to manage their entire trip (this includes both the outbound and return journey to/from the UK), via more climate conscious modes of transport – for example, train, bus and ferry.

Applications for Summer 2024 have now closed. These webpages will be updated in the autumn term with information for summer 2025.
