📚 Turing Scheme 2025-26: Funding for International Study and Work Placements | 图灵计划2025-26学年：国际学习与实习资助申请全指南
Studying or working abroad is one of the highest-return experiences a young person can have, but cost is almost always the deciding factor. The Turing Scheme, the UK government's flagship international mobility programme, exists to remove that barrier: it pays grants to schools, colleges and universities so that their students can live, study and work overseas. This guide explains what the scheme funds in the 2025-26 academic year, who can take part, how the two-stage application process works, and what students and institutions must do to turn a good idea into a funded placement.
出国学习或实习，是年轻人回报率最高的成长经历之一，而费用几乎永远是决定成败的关键。图灵计划（Turing Scheme）正是为消除这一障碍而设立的英国政府旗舰国际流动项目：它向中学、学院与大学拨款，资助其学生赴海外学习、生活与实习。本文将系统说明 2025-26 学年图灵计划的资助范围、参与资格、两阶段申请流程，以及学生与院校该如何把"一个想法"变成"一笔已获批的资助"。
1. What Is the Turing Scheme? | 什么是图灵计划
The Turing Scheme is the UK's national replacement for the Erasmus+ mobility strand. Launched in 2021 after the UK left the European Union, it is funded by the Department for Education and administered by a delivery consortium, with Capita acting as the grant administrator. Unlike Erasmus+, it is genuinely global: placements can take place in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas or Oceania, and there is no requirement that the destination be a European partner.
图灵计划是英国为替代欧盟 Erasmus+ 流动项目而设立的国家级资助计划。它于 2021 年英国脱欧后启动，由英国教育部（DfE）出资，通过交付联合体管理，Capita 担任拨款管理机构。与 Erasmus+ 不同，图灵计划真正面向全球：实习或学习地点可以设在欧洲、亚洲、非洲、美洲或大洋洲，并不要求目的地必须是欧洲合作机构。
The scheme does not pay students directly. It awards grants to UK education providers, who then distribute funding to their own participants. That single design feature explains almost every rule that follows, including why individual students can never apply on their own.
该计划不直接向学生个人付款，而是把资助授予英国的教育机构，再由机构把资金分配给本校参与者。这一制度设计几乎解释了后续所有规则，也解释了为什么学生个人永远无法单独申请。
- The scheme is open to schools, further education colleges, higher education institutions, and other eligible UK organisations such as registered training providers.
该项目面向中学、继续教育学院、高等教育机构，以及其他符合资格的英国组织（如注册培训机构）。 - It has run as an annual application round since 2021, with an annual budget in the region of £100 million and tens of thousands of participants supported each year.
自 2021 年起每年开放一轮申请，年度预算约 1 亿英镑量级，每年资助数万名参与者。 - Grants are not loans: participants do not repay anything, and the funding is not means-tested in the way a student loan is.
资助属于赠款而非贷款：参与者无需偿还，且不像学生贷款那样按月收入审核。
2. Eligibility: Who Can Take Part | 参与资格：谁能参加
There are two separate eligibility questions in the Turing Scheme, and confusing them is the single most common mistake. The first is whether your institution can apply for a grant. The second is whether you, as a student, can be funded by that grant.
图灵计划涉及两个彼此独立的资格问题，把二者混淆是最常见的错误。第一个问题是：你所在的机构是否有资格申请拨款。第二个问题是：你作为学生，是否能被这笔拨款资助。
On the institutional side, the applicant must be a legally constituted UK organisation that delivers education or training, and it must be able to demonstrate sound financial and safeguarding arrangements. Universities, colleges and schools of all types qualify, which is why most A-level students access the scheme through their own school or sixth-form college rather than through a national body.
在机构层面，申请方必须是依法设立、提供教育或培训的英国组织，并能够证明其财务与安全保护安排健全。各类大学、学院和中学均符合条件，因此大多数 A-level 学生是通过自己所在的学校或六年制学院参与该计划，而不是通过某个全国性机构。
On the participant side, eligibility is normally based on enrolment at the UK applicant institution rather than on nationality. That means international students studying at a UK school, college or university may be able to take part if their institution includes them in its project. In practice, however, each institution sets its own selection criteria, so the only reliable answer comes from your international office, careers team or head of year.
在参与者层面，资格通常取决于是否在作为申请方的英国院校注册在读，而非国籍。这意味着在英国中学、学院或大学就读的国际学生，只要所在机构将其纳入项目，也可能参与。但实际操作中，每所机构都自设选拔标准，因此唯一可靠的答案来自学校的国际事务办公室、职业发展团队或年级负责人。
- School pupils: typically aged 14 and above, usually travelling in supervised groups with accompanying staff.
中学生：通常为 14 岁及以上，多以有带队教师陪同的团队形式出行。 - Further education and apprenticeship students: typically aged 16 and above, including vocational learners.
继续教育与学徒制学生：通常为 16 岁及以上，包括职业类学习者。 - Higher education students: undergraduates, postgraduates and, in many projects, recent graduates within a defined window after graduation.
高等教育学生：本科生、研究生，以及许多项目中在规定毕业后时限内的应届毕业生。 - Staff: accompanying teachers, trainers and support staff can be funded where they are essential to the mobility.
教职员：对流动活动必不可少的带队教师、培训师与支持人员也可获得资助。
3. Funding Rates and Grants | 资助标准与补助金额
Turing funding is built from a small number of components rather than a single lump sum. The largest is the cost-of-living grant, which is calculated from the destination country's cost band, the length of the placement, and whether the activity is a study placement or a work placement. Work placements generally attract a higher monthly rate than study placements of the same duration, because participants are not paying tuition fees abroad.
图灵计划的资助由少数几个组成部分构成，而不是一笔笼统的总额。其中占比最大的是生活成本补助，其计算依据包括目的地国家的生活成本分档、实习或学习的时长，以及活动类型是学习还是工作实习。相同时长下，工作实习的月补助通常高于学习，因为参与者在海外不需要缴纳学费。
The second component is the travel grant, which is a flat rate based on the distance band between the UK and the destination. Short-haul European destinations sit in the lowest bands, while long-haul destinations in Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania sit in the highest. A third component covers additional support for participants from disadvantaged backgrounds, who receive an uplifted cost-of-living rate and, in most rounds, funding based on the real cost of their travel rather than the flat rate.
第二个组成部分是交通补助，按英国与目的地之间的距离分档定额发放。欧洲短途目的地属于最低档，而亚洲、非洲、美洲和大洋洲的长途目的地属于最高档。第三个组成部分是面向弱势背景参与者的额外支持：他们可获得更高档的生活补助，并且在多数轮次中，交通费按实际发生成本报销，而非按定额发放。
nt = cost-of-living grant + travel grant + inclusion top-up − institutional administration
Finally, institutions may retain a capped share of the project budget for organisational support, covering administration, preparation, monitoring and reporting. This is why the amount a student actually receives is always slightly less than the headline rate published in the funding guidance.
最后，机构可从项目预算中留存一定比例（有上限）作为组织支持费用，用于行政管理、行前准备、过程监督与报告。这也是学生实际到手金额总会略低于官方指南公布的名义标准的原因。
| Funding element | 资助组成部分 | What it covers | 覆盖内容 | How it is calculated | 计算方式 |
| Cost of living | 生活补助 | Accommodation, food, local transport | 住宿、餐饮、市内交通 | Destination cost band × duration × study or work rate | 目的地分档 × 时长 × 学习/工作费率 |
| Travel | 交通补助 | Flights and onward ground travel | 机票及落地后陆路交通 | Distance band between UK and destination | 英国与目的地之间的距离分档 |
| Inclusion top-up | 包容性加码 | Higher living rate and real-cost travel | 更高生活补助与实报实销交通费 | Based on verified disadvantage criteria | 依据经核实的弱势背景标准认定 |
| Organisational support | 组织支持费 | Preparation, safeguarding, admin, reporting | 行前培训、安全保护、行政与报告 | Capped share of the total project budget | 项目总预算中设有上限的比例 |
4. What Counts as a Funded Placement | 哪些海外学习与实习可获资助
Turing funding supports two broad categories of activity: study placements at a host institution, and work placements with an employer, laboratory, studio, hospital, NGO or similar organisation. For school pupils, the scheme also supports structured group exchanges and short taught programmes hosted by a partner school or provider.
图灵资助支持两大类活动：一类是在接收院校进行的学习型交换，另一类是在雇主、实验室、工作室、医院、非政府组织等机构进行的工作实习。对于中学生，该计划还支持由伙伴学校或承办方组织的结构性团体交流与短期课程项目。
Duration rules matter enormously. A placement that falls below the minimum threshold is not fundable at all, and a placement that runs outside the funding year cannot be claimed. Applications are assessed on planned dates, so a delayed flight or a changed contract start date can put funding at risk.
时长规则极其关键。低于
