University Fees
Year Abroad students pay 15% of the University Composition Fee via their College. (This policy is determined by the central government and is beyond the control of the University.) Overseas MMLL students are required to pay fees at 50% of the overseas rate during their Year Abroad. Details please see Undergraduate Study Tuition fees.
Student Loans
Depending on personal circumstances, Year Abroad students are normally eligible for a Student Loan and it may also be possible to apply for an additional loan. Eligible students can apply for funding support from Student Finance. Remember to keep all your Year Abroad receipts in case you are eligible to apply for a Student Finance Travel Grant.
The Faculty cannot help with normal travelling, visa or living expenses.

Funding resources
- Turing Scheme : Managed by Cambridge's International Student Office (ISO). Institutions are required to bid for Turing Scheme funding for specific activities on an annual basis. Students cannot apply directly for funding themselves. Cambridge students will be informed by their Faculty or Department if they are eligible to apply for funding under the scheme. Due to a limited budget allocation, funding is targeted to support students who are in financial need.
