PGDE funding?

GlasweJen

I'm considering doing a PGDE in either biology with science or chemistry with science (my degree is suitable for both).

I do hold post grad qualifications but I didn't access any public funds to to them, my parents paid for one and I took out a bank loan for the other which I have paid off.

I'm Scottish, planning to study in Scotland. Will be getting married next year, no kids and I do have various disabilities.

Could someone help me work out if I could get my tuition fees paid, if there is any loan or bursary available for living costs and if I could access the disabled students allowance (I did for my last degree in 2005).

Have you actually asked SAAS what funding is available?

Yes, I am sure that funding is available, but go through the DfE website. There are various different pathways and assorted funding schemes, some of which depend on your subject and degree class...

SAAS website pushes you through the undergrad options if you click on PGDE and it seems like I can have tuition paid and a loan but I wasn't sure if this was accurate.

Should've mentioned this website on the other thread too
