Fees and funding for teacher training

How much are tuition fees?

The amount your teaching training will cost varies, depending on what course you're studying, the subject you're focusing on, and where you're applying from. For students assessed as being eligible for UK support, it can be up to £9,250 per year for a full-time programme.

The good news is that if you're on a qualifying teacher training course in England, there are plenty of bursaries, loans and funding options open to you when it comes to paying for your studies.

Tuition fee and maintenance loans

If you’re studying any of our PGCE courses – and you’re not eligible to receive a bursary or scholarship – you're eligible for an undergraduate student loan to help cover your fees and living costs.

You won’t have to pay the cost of your tuition in advance (although you can, if you'd like to) and you'll only repay the loan when you're in employment and earning more than £25,000 a year.

You may also be eligible for a maintenance loan towards your living costs – visit the Student Finance England website for more guidance.

Your personal circumstances can also affect your eligibility for further funding, and the UK government's student finance calculator can help you work out if you can claim for Parents' Learning Allowances, Childcare Grants, Child Tax Credits and many other additional sources of funding.
