Transfer credit

Other opportunities at this partner
British Universities Transnational Exchange Association (BUTEX)
Each year BUTEX awards a number of £500 scholarships to students studying abroad for a single semester or full academic year. Queen Mary University London is a BUTEX member so incoming study abroad students applying to Leeds can submit a scholarship application.
BUTEX scholarships are awarded based on a calendar year and not an academic year. This means that students who are completing a full year of exchange that takes place across two calendar years will have two opportunities to apply, but each student can only win a BUTEX scholarship once.
Find out more and apply for the BUTEX scholarship.
Queen Mary does not offer funding for their study abroad program. However, there are several external funding opportunities for students considering studying abroad at Queen Mary: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/international/global-opportunities/incoming-students/study-abroad-programme/fees-and-finance/
