Fees and Funding

Financial support

Information on a range of ways to support yourself financially through your training can be found on the student funding webpage. On that page, find the Postgraduate student section and then select PGCE (ITT) - Teaching.

The page provides information on:

• The Teacher Training bursary from the Department of Education. You do not need to apply for this, we will write to you confirming your eligibility, bursary value and payment dates.
• Scholarships from professional bodies. You must apply if your wish to receive a scholarship. Applications must be made directly to the professional body offering the scholarship.

For the 2026/27 academic year the following bursaries and scholarships are offered:

• University of Nottingham bursaries A range of bursaries offered by the University to help University of Nottingham students fund their time at university to ease some financial pressure while they’re studying with us

Applying to Student Finance

If eligible you can apply to Student Finance for a tuition fee and a maintenance loan. Information on how to apply for a tuition fee loan can be found on the student funding webpage.

When applying to Student Finance for your funding the University uses a generic course heading rather than listing all different PGCEs. Please start to type PGCE Secondary, PGCE Primary in the course box and the courses you can choose from will appear. Please then select one that is ‘current to use’. Do not select a course that has ‘do not use’ alongside the heading.

It is your responsibility to arrange the payment of your fees.
