Financial support from the UK government
Tuition fee and maintenance loans
Most home (UK) students are eligible for a Tuition Fee Loan from Student Finance England. Tuition Fee Loans are available to Home full-time or part-time students and cover the full tuition fee. They are paid directly to your university by the government and you don't need to repay the loan until you're earning over the stated threshold.
For PGCEs in Modern Foreign Languages and Physics, trainees starting courses in the 2023 to 2024 academic year will not need to be eligible for student finance to be eligible for a postgraduate bursary or scholarship. For all other subjects and routes, trainees are only eligible for a bursary or scholarship if they are entitled to support under the student finance criteria. You can find further information about support and eligibility on the government ITT information page.
Depending on your personal circumstances, you may also be eligible for a maintenance loan or grant to help you cover living costs. Find out more about student finance at gov.uk.
The process is different if you're a student from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. Visit your relevant website for more information:
