Combination of ERASMUS and NON-ERASMUS placements:
Students who spend part of a full year studying or working abroad under the ERASMUS scheme and part of a full year studying or working abroad NOT under the ERASMUS scheme will have their maintenance loan adjusted for these different parts of the year. E.g. for the ERASMUS weeks of study or work the maintenance loan would be paid pro rata following the above ERASMUS rates, funding would then change to the Non-Erasmus rates for the remaining weeks abroad.
Students on a half year abroad and half year studying in Bristol will pay tuition fees at the full fee rate. The maintenance loan will be paid pro rata according to the number of weeks the student is working or studying abroad and for thenumber of weeks spent in Bristol.
