Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma in Education

If you are on a full- or part-time PGCE/PGDE course at a higher education institution or through a ’school-centred initial teacher training’ provider, including the School Direct (non-salaried) programme, and meet the personal and residential eligibility criteria for undergraduate student support (see here), you are entitled to the same support package as undergraduate students (see Chapter 2). You may also be able to apply for assistance from your university’s or college’s hardship fund. There are also incentive packages for which you may be eligible (see below).
