What types of expenses can I include in my bursary application budget?

Within reason the Work Experience Bursary can contribute to any expenses incurred through work experience or an internship, including:

  • Accommodation costs
  • Travel expenses
  • Living costs and utilities bills
  • Insurance (if required in addition to the University of Birmingham travel insurance scheme)
  • Equipment or resources
  • Programme/experience fees

Discretion will be applied when assessing applications for funding for equipment and resources. Please note that bursary funding can only be awarded for expenses you will incur as a result of carrying out your work experience placement or internship. We cannot award funding to pay for leisure activities or personal travel.
