Summer Short Trips (Uppsala, Lisbon, Geneva, Paris, Dublin)

We have the following opportunities for Summer 2025

*NEW CALL*
The department is pleased to support eligible music undergraduates on the following short trips abroad:

Eligibility

You must be a registered University of Liverpool undergraduate Music student. Students from any year may apply. Final year students and second year students will be given priority.
Incoming students on an exchange semester or exchange year are ineligible. Students who have previously been on a departmental GO short trip are ineligible. Students who have been on, or have been awarded, a University/SOTA international experience that is a non-departmental short trip are lower priority.
You should apply for one country only. The trip must last at least 5 days, inclusive of travel days (i.e. you must stay a minimum of four nights).
Your application must make clear where appropriate how the conference trip and destination may be useful for your career interest.

The support you may receive:

The support offered towards accommodation and/or travel is in line with Turing guidance which specifies a higher amount of support for those with WP status. Students will receive either £200 or £365 towards their travel/accommodation. Conference fees will be paid by the University directly.

If offered support for the trip, you must confirm acceptance within 7 days (contact lee.tsang@liverpool.ac.uk).

Be aware that coordinating with fellow students over hostel accommodation may be a way to help you to keep costs down.
Any student who confirms their attendance but does not proceed with the trip will be required to refund to the University all financial support. This refund must be settled no later than June 2025. Please be aware that graduating students must have any outstanding financial matters settled before they can graduate.
You will be required to complete a short post-trip report within 10 days of your trip. This form will be sent to you.
You are required to apply for University insurance for the duration of your trip (at no cost to you). If you extend your trip beyond the requisite 5 days, then you should purchase your own private insurance to cover any additional days.

How to apply for funding support

Please complete the funding support form and select ‘other agreed destination’, which will prompt you to provide relevant information about the trip.

Forms must be completed no later than Monday 31 March 2025 in order to have the greatest chance of success.

If you have any questions, please contact lee.tsang@liverpool.ac.uk
