  • Fees and Funding

Investing in your teacher training is an investment in a rewarding and fulfilling career. Our PGCE programme is a fee-paying route into teaching, delivered in partnership with the University of Worcester.

Tuition fees are paid directly to the University of Worcester. For the latest information on course fees and payment arrangements, please visit the University of Worcester’s course fees page.

Funding and Financial Support

Many trainee teachers are eligible for financial support to help fund their training.

Depending on your subject specialism, you may be entitled to a tax-free bursary or scholarship, which does not need to be repaid. These incentives are designed to support talented graduates entering the teaching profession.

You may also be eligible for:

  • Tuition Fee Loans
  • Maintenance Loans
  • Additional student finance support, depending on your circumstances

Further information on bursaries, scholarships and student finance can be found through the Department for Education’s Get Into Teaching service and Student Finance England.

If you’re unsure about funding options, the University of Worcester’s finance and admissions teams will be happy to guide you through the process and help you identify the support available to you.

International Applicants

To train to teach in England, you must have the right to study in the UK. You may already have this right if you:

  • Are an Irish citizen
  • Have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme
  • Have indefinite leave to remain in the UK

Applicants who require visa sponsorship should be aware that visa sponsorship is not available for this programme.

International tuition fees are currently £17,400. If you require a visa to study in the UK, we recommend exploring alternative teacher training programmes that offer visa sponsorship or checking whether you are eligible for another visa route, such as a Graduate or Family Visa.

Need Advice?

We understand that funding and eligibility can sometimes feel complex. If you have any questions about fees, funding or your individual circumstances, we encourage you to contact the University of Worcester for personalised advice and guidance.
