BSc & MSci Natural Sciences Degree Programmes for 2020 Entry 2020 Entry | Page 9

NATURAL SCIENCES | 9 Study Abroad Students on the Natural Science degree Programme have the potential opportunity to spend a full year abroad at one of Keele’s international partner universities. Exactly which countries are available depends on the student’s choice of degree subjects. An indicative list of countries is on the website at Partner Universities; however this does not guarantee the availability of study in a specific country as this is subject to the University’s application process for studying abroad. No additional tuition fees are payable for studying abroad but students do have to bear the costs of travelling to and from their destination university, accommodation, food and personal costs. Depending on the destination they are studying at, additional costs may include; visas, study permits, residence permits, and compulsory health checks. Students should expect the total costs of studying abroad to be greater than if they study in the UK. Information is made available from the Global Education Team throughout the process, as costs will vary depending on destination. Whilst students are studying abroad, any Student Finance eligibility will continue. Where applicable, students may be eligible for specific travel or disability grants. Students studying in Erasmus+ destinations may be eligible for grants as part of this programme. Students studying outside of this programme may be eligible for income dependent bursaries at Keele. Students travel on a comprehensive Keele University insurance plan, for which there are currently no additional charges. Some Governments and/or universities require additional compulsory health coverage plans; costs for this will be advised during the application process. keele.ac.uk/gge
