Staff and students who are travelling overseas are encouraged to check our updated travel policy before making their trip.
The policy has been amended as part of a major update of our University’s financial regulations and finance policy following an audit by the HMRC.
It covers the following points:
- All travel must be made in line with the travel policy.
- The use of Clarity has been reconfirmed for all overseas flights paid for by the University.
- Information for how to use Clarity to book flights can be found on the Procurement and Purchasing flights page.
- The guidance for claiming subsistence when travelling overseas has been clarified and includes examples.
- Where travel is also subject to an external funder’s regulations e.g. a grant, the University’s policy and procedures will take precedence.
Please use the links below to find out more information about:
- Reasonable adjustment for travel – where occupational health or equality reasons require adjustments for travel
- Combining business with personal travel – what can be supported by the University and the arrangements that you will need to make
- Travel funded by another organisation
- Travel where a reimbursement to the University is expected
Please always check the travel procedures before you make your travel arrangements to make sure that you are using the latest information. It will not be possible to pay claims that are not compliant with Financial Regulations, Policies and Procedures.
If you have any queries relating to the Financial Regulations or Finance Policies, please contact your Faculty Finance Team or your Professional Services Finance Team.
If you have any queries relating to procurement or purchasing, please contact the Purchasing Team or Procurement Team.
