Turing Scheme 2025 applications open at Sixth Form centre

Capital City College students attend the Turing Scheme event to learn more about the exciting international opportunities on offer.

On 9 October, around 200 students gathered at Capital City College’s (CCC) Angel centre to learn more about the Turing Scheme, the UK’s global programme for studying, working and living abroad. During the informative presentation, students received details about the application process, accommodation, food, challenges, benefits and expectations.

This year, the Turing Scheme at CCC has already proven to be incredibly popular, with around 700 students expressing an interest in taking part. In addition to the 200 students in attendance at the presentation, several students joined online. The event was open to all students and was organised by Philippa Cooke, Head of Hub at the Angel centre. 

The Turing Scheme is a government-funded programme that offers students the opportunity to develop new skills, gain experience in other languages and cultures, boost their employment prospects and experience international travel. The Turing Scheme programme at CCC is open to students aged over 18 and enrolled on a Further Education course at the college.

In spring 2025, a group of 42 students accompanied by four staff members will travel to South Korea. During the trip, they will learn the basics of the Korean language and experience local culture while also building personal confidence. The 20-day trip will enable them to forge new connections and experience greater independence. 

The upcoming trip builds on the success of previous Turing Scheme trips to Korea and highlights the strong ongoing partnerships between CCC and a number of Korean colleges. Funding will cover travel expenses, living costs including accommodation and meals, participation in programmes delivered by three Korean colleges, cultural visits, and pre-departure activities such as briefing sessions and language lessons.

Applications for this year’s Turing Scheme at CCC have now opened and will close on 2 November. Following shortlisting and interviews, the successful students will be notified by 9 December. There will be regular briefing sessions and language lessons until the group departs on 29 March 2025.

The Turing Scheme is just one of the many benefits of studying with us, including trips, discount schemes, clubs, societies and sports teams. Find out more about college life at Capital City College.
