Home students wishing to enter Initial Teacher Training in the academic year 2014/15 may be eligible for a Training Bursary.

To be eligible, students must first meet the conditions for entry onto the programme and be offered a place. If accepted onto a programme, the university then makes the application for a bursary on behalf of the student.

The amount of bursary that a student receives is based on their prior qualifications, the subject and the level they wish to teach at. The table below outlines the level of bursary against these factors:
