Fees and Funding

Tuition Fees

Academic Year 2025-26

The tuition fees set and agreed by the CTTC Finance Committee and Steering Group, for the 2025/26 academic year are:

• A full-time course leading to QTS and PGCE – £9,200
• A part-time course leading to QTS and PGCE – £9,200 paid over the duration of your training (usually two years)

Funding is available to help you train to teach if you choose a course that has tuition fees. You may be eligible for a Student Loan to cover the cost of your tuition fees or to help with your living costs. Tuition fee loans are not means tested, so you do not need to provide evidence of your income or anyone else’s to be eligible to receive one. You can still apply for a tuition fee loan and a maintenance loan if:

• You also get a teaching bursary or scholarship
• You’ve previously applied for and received a Student Loan

Bursaries and Scholarships

Academic Year 2025-26

Postgraduate bursaries are tax-free payments you receive if you’re training to teach certain subjects. You do not need to apply for a bursary, you’ll automatically get one if you’re eligible.

Postgraduate scholarships are awarded by organisations with a passion for their subject area. They combine tax-free payments with extra benefits like subject-specific support, mentoring and networking opportunities. If you’re eligible, you can apply directly to the scholarship provider.

You cannot receive both a bursary and a scholarship. If you receive either a bursary or a scholarship, you do not need to pay it back.
