In funding your mobility, please be aware that making an application for a mobility grant does not guarantee that funding will be available or awarded. Students should not rely on mobility grants to fund their study or work placement. For many countries, students will need to demonstrate that they have enough money to cover their costs whilst living abroad. This is a normal part of applying for study visas.
Student Finance Travel Grant:
Students may be eligible for a travel grant to cover the cost of the necessary travel related to their study or work abroad as part of their degree.
The level of funding and student’s eligibility will depend on the type, location and duration of the placement and the student’s personal circumstance.
For each fund the application process is the same.
To make an application for mobility grant funding please complete a Global Bangor Opportunities Funding Application form which will allow the team to assess your eligibility for funding and choose the best option for you and the opportunity you are interested in.

Each year BUTEX awards a number of scholarships to students studying abroad for a semester or a whole academic year, and students undertaking an overseas work/internship/traineeship placement of varying lengths of time.
BUTEX scholarships are based on a calendar year and not the academic year. Students that have a placement that will take place across two calendar years will be able to apply in each year, but please note individuals can only win a BUTEX scholarship once.
Students must be affiliated with a BUTEX institution to be eligible to apply. Please check all the application requirements here.
