► PGCE/Postgrad/International students Finance
| Postgraduate Students |
Funding for postgraduate students is hard to find. This is mainly due to the fact that there is no central system of funding, like that available for undergraduate students. Postgraduate students may also find that living expenses are higher and that they are responsible for all of the university fees. Therefore, students should fully understand the financial implications before beginning a postgraduate course. There may be a limited number of funded places available, dependant on the subject you plan to study. Also, you may be able to find a sponsor to help pay your fees. However, both of these options are rare- and you should research the available opportunities prior to enrolling on a course. Students services provide some useful links for postgraduates looking for funding.
| PGCE Students |
If you qualify as a 'home' student, and are starting a postgraduate ITT course in Wales after September 2008 then you will recieve a non-taxable bursary to aid your studies. The amount you recieve is dependant on the subject you plan to teach-as priority subjects such as Music and RE will recieve greater amounts. Welsh domiciled students studying in Wales will also be eligible for a £1,890 non repayable grant towards tuition fees. There is also a Welsh medium incentive supplement available for students wishing to pursue the secondary postgraduate course through the medium of welsh. More information for PGCE students can be found on the student finance Wales website Here.
| International Students |
International students face significant financial demmands when studying in the UK. UWIC understands these difficulties, but encourages all international students to ensure that they have sufficent funds to cover both course fees and living expenses before coming to the UK. It is important to note that you will not be able to recieve any money from UWIC or any other UK organisations once you have arrived in the UK. It is also likely that authorities will require you to prove that you have sufficent funds before they grant you your visa. Similar to other UK institutions, UWIC requires you to pay your accomodation and course fees in full whilst you are studying in the UK. It is possible for you to pay your fees in two instalments if you cannot pay in whole at the beginning of your course. However, you will not be allowed to graduate if you have outsanding monies owed to UWIC. Further information on finance for international students can be found on the UWIC international students website here.
