Some of our programmes offer specific funding options. Each of these subject specific funding opportunities are listed below, so it’s definitely worth check to see what is available to your chosen course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t
Our current programmes which have subject specific funding include:<\/p>\n
PGCE students are usually eligible for standard Student Finance England undergraduate funding, so take a look at the Funding and Advice section.<\/p>\n
In addition to the funding that you are entitled to from Student Finance England<\/a>, you may also be able to get a Teaching Bursary or Scholarship<\/a>.<\/p>\n How much you can get depends on the specialism of your PGCE and your degree classification (e.g. 2.1 or first class degree at undergraduate level).<\/p>\n Please note that the Support Package \/ Chichester Bursary is not available to PGCE students.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tHow and when do I apply for the bursary?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t You do not need to apply for the Bursary. At some point in the application process (it varies depending on your circumstances), you will be asked to provide proof of your qualifications.<\/p>\n The University uses this to determine your eligibility for the PGCE course itself and your eligibility for the Teaching Bursary. We will do all the administration; all you have to do is provide your bank details online.<\/p>\n You will be sent the information on how to provide your bank details around the time that you start your course.<\/p>\n If you are eligible for a Bursary of up to \u00a312,000 then you will receive this in ten monthly instalments from October to July.<\/p>\n If you are eligible for a Bursary of \u00a315,000 or more, or the \u00a325,000 Scholarship then you will also be paid in ten instalments between October and July.<\/p>\n You won’t receive written notification of your entitlement.<\/p>\n Undergraduate and postgraduate students studying either Nursing or Physiotherapy can apply for the NHS Learning Support Fund.<\/a><\/p>\n If you’re eligible, you can get access to additional grants to help through your studies.<\/p>\n For more information on what you could receive and the application process, please visit the NHS Learning Support Fund website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Undergraduate<\/strong> Social Work students should begin by reading the Funding and Advice\u00a0section<\/a> as this funding is available in every year of the course.<\/p>\n However, students may be able to apply for a Social Work Bursary<\/a> from the NHS Business Services Authority for part of the course (usually year 2 and 3).<\/p>\n No student is guaranteed to get this funding because there are caps on the number of bursaries available.<\/p>\n For students who do not get a bursary, a Placement Travel Allowance is available (in year 2 and 3) to help with the travel expenses incurred when undertaking placements.<\/p>\n Postgraduate <\/strong>Social Work students on the MA Social Work programme may be able to get funding from the NHS Business Services Authority<\/a> but numbers are capped so financial support is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n If you do qualify, you may be able to get:<\/p>\n\n\t\tNursing and Physiotherapy\n\t<\/h2>\n
