It is important for our students to gain an international outlook in today's global economy, they can do this through International Study or short-term overseas learning opportunities.
An international experience allows students to live independently, be exposed to different cultures and new challenges.
The high-cost of International Study can stop students taking this opportunity. Our alumni community support a number of scholarships to help reduce the financial burden:
- Neil Hood Memorial Fund - established in the memory of the late Professor Neil Hood to enable students to gain an international experience. Students from Strathclyde Business School are provided with bursaries starting from £500 to help with cost of their exchange
- Widening Access International Experience scholarship - students from low income or disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to gain an international experience because of the cost. We are looking to remove this barrier by supporting their International Study or funding a short-term overseas learning opportunity
- Alumni Fund International Study scholarships - the Strathclyde Alumni Fund provides £500 travel bursaries to almost 70 students each year

Due to studying French and Spanish, my 4th year involved me working in Spain as an English Language Assistant. The scholarship was of great benefit to me as the cost of living abroad was something that I found worrying.”
