Master
The PGCE Access Bursary is available to full-time Home fee paying students beginning a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Primary Education or Secondary Education (Physical Education) at Brunel University London in September. Other PGCE courses are excluded from this bursary due to the availability of Government funded bursaries.
Eligibility
- Must hold an offer of a place on a full time PGCE Primary or PGCE Secondary Education (Physical Education) courses starting in September. This includes offers made through Clearing and Adjustment. • Offer must be ‘Unconditional Firm’ (UF) by the date the Scholarship Allocation Panel make their awards in October (i.e. applicant must have met all offer conditions and firmly accepted the place). • Must commence the course in the upcoming academic year (applicants for deferred entry will be considered for a bursary in the year they start their course and not in the year of their course application). • Must be classed as a Home fee paying student based on the UK government regulations. Applicants who are unsure of their fee status should note Brunel uses the information they have provided in their application form to assess fee status against regulations set by the UK government. For information on these regulations please visit the independent organisation UKCISA’s website. • Must be ordinarily resident in the UK (includes those living in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland). • Must have consented to the sharing of household income submitted to the Student Loans Company (SLC). Applicants should note that without consenting to share their information Brunel cannot access any information relating to Household Income. This will result in the applicant not being considered for this award. • Must come from a low income household (£25,000 pa or less, as defined in the ‘Eligibility Definitions’ below). Please note all applicants, but particularly clearing applicants must ensure that they inform the Student Loans Company (SLC) at the earliest opportunity that they are attending Brunel. This will then ensure that the SLC can provide relevant evidence that the applicant meets this condition by 16th September (SLC application must be approved no later than this date). Failure to do this or if the applicants SLC assessment and application have not been approved by 16th September will result in the applicant not being considered for this award. AND must meet at least one of the following under-represented criteria (as defined in the ‘Eligibility Definitions’ below): • Resident in a ‘Low Participation Neighbourhood’ as defined in the ‘Eligibility Definitions’ below. • Aged 25 or over by the course start date. • Disabled (including dyslexia)
Benefits

How many: Up to 20 bursaries will be allocated in October to those who meet the eligibility criteria defined in this document.
Application
Application process: There is no separate application, all students will be considered for the bursary automatically based on the information supplied in their course application. Awards will be made by the Scholarship Allocation Panel in early October.
