Funding Opportunities

For the second year, students can apply for a mobility grant.

• First-year students enrolled in Dublin, Granada, or Liege can apply for an Erasmus+ mobility grant. The Erasmus+ grant is not means-tested and is open to students of all nationalities. The amount is around 200-300€ per month, depending on the destination country (i.e. students in their second year in Maastricht will receive a higher amount compared to those in Granada).

Due to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the Erasmus+ mobility grant is no longer available for students who start the programme at the University of Sheffield.

You can find more information on the European Agency Website.

• First-year students enrolled in Sheffield can apply for the Turing grant. The grant is available to students of all nationalities. The amount is around £335 per month (approximately 380€). Students with lower household income will be prioritized for this grant.

Please note that the allocation of this grant is subject to the approval of the Global Engagement department. Each year, the department applies for the Turing Scheme in the hopes of securing funding. Following successful acquisition, these funds are then allocated to students through a system of grants. In that sense, the funding varies from year to year.

You can find more information and updates on this page.

Please take into account that these two grants are intended to assist students with additional costs incurred during the second year abroad. They are not enough to cover all expenses and should not be relied on for essential living costs such as food and rent.
