If you are going on placement as part of your course or another professional opportunity, you may be able to apply for some funding to support you.
Our Placement and Professional Opportunities Fund can help cover costs such as travel and clothing for interviews, travel to start your placement, essential uniform and tools, as well as Standard Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, visas and inoculation fees.
Alternatively, you could get funding for short courses, conferences, professional membership or self-employment costs such as business registration or other activities which will support your employability. You will just have to tell us how these will support your career aspirations.
There are certain criteria you’ll need to meet to qualify for funding, so check out the details on our website. You can also find more information about what’s covered and how much funding you could get, as well as a link to the application form.
The Placement and Professional Opportunities Fund is one of a range of financial support measures which BU offers and you can find all the details on our website. We also have a selection of student blogs around money and budgeting, as well as lots of guidance about managing your financial wellbeing and the cost-of-living support offered by BU.
