    What exactly is the course- is it a PGCE and if so is it for primary or secondary teaching? I may be able to help re bursaries etc if I know the details.

    Thanks Sarah: it's secondary teaching (for Maths) and I'll be doing it in Scotland.

    Hi again,
    I am not sure if the funding situation is the same in Scotland as it is in England for student teachers, though I did try to look at a few websites. Here is one link for you,
    http://www.teachinginscotland.com (just copy and paste if can't openas a link)

    if you clink on the link to 'Is there financial help' that has some details on allowances and student loans. If you were in England you would get a £6k bursary for a secondary maths course, but I can't see if that's the same in Scotland so may be worth giving the contact number on that website a ring to clarify.
    Yesterday is today's memories, tomorrow is today's dreams :)
