YuStart

If you need funds to boost overseas travel then consider using YuStart, York’s own crowdfunding platform. The site empowers you to fundraise for innovative projects and ideas and in addition gives you valuable project management and promotional experience.

  • You should be seeking funds for travel (economy only), accommodation, subsistence and other necessary costs for an overseas visit. YuStart does not enable fundraising to support external charities.
  • Contact YuStart team: yustart@york.ac.uk.

Summer Exchange Opportunities

Summer exchange opportunities take place at our partner institutions abroad. Some costs may be covered by our reciprocal exchange agreements, however you must apply through York to be considered for an exchange place. Please check each destination on the summer exchange opportunities webpage for specific costs associated with that opportunity. You will need to budget for international flights, accommodation, medical expenses, living expenses and course fees (if applicable). You will also need to consider logistical arrangements such as visa/immigration requirements, accommodation, travel and medical requirements (e.g. vaccinations).
