Undergraduate Elective Bursary


Applications for undergraduate electives are now open until 5pm on Friday 28th November 2025.

An elective period of study can be the highlight of a medical student’s study and can bring enormous benefits for a successful future career in your chosen specialty.

The BSG is delighted to be able to offer a number of bursaries of up to £500 each, recognising that undertaking an elective has additional costs for the student. The bursary could cover expenses such as:

  • Additional accommodation and travel costs
  • The administration fee charged by institutions in organising the elective
  • Visa and immunisation costs for electives abroad

Applications will be judged anonymously by a panel of judges appointed by the BSG and considered under the following criteria:

  • Relevance to Gastroenterology or Hepatology
  • Defined learning objectives delivering benefits to the student 
  • Support from the learning institution
  • General quality of application

Please note you must be an undergraduate member of the BSG in order to apply for a bursary.
