Funding for PGDE courses in Scotland for non Scottish residents

soapbloggs

Hi,

I'm looking into the viability of doing a PGDE in Scotland and trying to find information about the funding available to students that aren't ordinarily resident in Scotland. I've a British passport but have lived in Ireland most of my adult life. I'd appreciate if anybody has information or helpful links that could answer this.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

I believe the course is funded by the government but you have to stay and teach for a year after. Check out Aberdeen university!

Hello

I know it has been a while since you did the course but I'm hoping you or anybody reading this thread might be able to inform me if there are any bursaries or grants available for living costs for the duration of the ten month course. I'll be studying in Dundee from August. I'm aware that as an E.U student I'm eligible to apply to S.A.A.S to help with covering the fees.Any further information would be much appreciated as I'm finding it difficult to access information online.Also has anybody experience of accessing a student loan,are funds available in.Scotland to be paid back after qualification?I'm working and sparing as much as I can but am.really feeling the pressure and I'd prefer to avoid working while doing the course.

Cheers
