Postgraduate Academic Travel Fund

The Postgraduate Academic Travel fund is intended to contribute to the costs of travelling to present oral papers or posters at appropriate recognized academic conferences and for clinical medicine students travelling to electives.

Doctoral students and MB/BChir or Veterinary students in their 3 clinical years can request up to £350 a year during each of their first three years study with any unused amount each year carried over to accumulate to a potential maximum of £1,050. Medical students whose electives are in developing countries can be considered for additional funding of up to £300 from the Martin Le Cornu Fund. Masters students can request up to a total £350 during their courses

The amount available is pro-rated for part-time students based on their specified rate of part-time study.

Confirmation and a supporting statement will be required from the supervisor (for Doctoral students) and from a supervisor, lecturer or course coordinator (for all other students). Receipts must be provided on return from travel, and all travel must be covered by appropriate insurance and within visa conditions.

Please see the guidance document for more detailed information.
