BADER International Study Centre
The Bader International Study Centre (BISC) located at Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex, England provides a unique and valuable learning opportunity for students. For many students and their families, financing a term or year of study abroad is a major financial undertaking. We respect that the additional costs involved may present a challenge. Queen's University is committed to making the unique and enriching BISC experience accessible.
As well as your own savings and parental/family contributions you may find it necessary to access loan funding from either the government or a financial institution (i.e. Student Line of Credit). Scholarships and bursaries (non-repayable grants) are other options to consider.
Queen's BISC bursaries and awards normally range in value up to approximately half the BISC program fees. These awards and bursaries are available if you are studying in either the First-Year Program or the Upper-Year Program.
For further information regarding the Bader International Study Centre, you may also want to check the Bader International Study Centre website. The Student Handbook on the BISC website is an excellent source of information.
