An expedition can be any kind of purposeful travel or outdoor pursuit, as an individual or in a group, in the UK or abroad.
The Queen Mary Expeditions Fund offers financial assistance to continuing undergraduate and postgraduate students for expeditions they may wish to undertake during the summer vacation.
An expedition can be any kind of purposeful travel or outdoor pursuit, as an individual or in a group, in the UK or abroad. It can be connected to your academic or personal interests but should not be a compulsory part of your course such as a Medical or Dental Elective. The Expeditions Fund awards are intended as a contribution to your trip, so your application will be more likely to be successful if you have a budget in place.
Start planning now - how can travel in the summer help you get the most out of your degree? Last summer students gained valuable experience as volunteers for charities, presented at conferences, attended specialist training courses, visited biological collections, museums, cities, jungles, deserts, oceans and mountains. Is there an archive in a UK or international city that will help with your dissertation research? Or a rural location suitable for fieldwork? The Fund is now open and you can apply via MySIS until the closing date of Friday 26th April 2024.
