If the student is unable to secure a relevant Visa, or are otherwise unable to meet official requirements for travel, they will not be able to take part in the international experience.

If the student changestheir degree course to another full-time course at the University of Gloucestershire mentioned within these terms and conditions, the Gloucestershire Scholarship Contribution can be transferred to a field study option on the student’s new course.

This offer is subject to availability and the University reserves the right to withdraw this offer at any time.
