Additional PGCE Funding

In additional to the student finance detailed in Undergraduate Funding section on our website, PGCE students undertaking a course at Bangor may also be entitled to receive additional financial support.

2022 to 2023 academic year

A new priority subject incentive scheme will be launched for the 2022 to 2023 academic year. This scheme will continue to incentivise those teachers that are most needed in Wales’ schools. All PGCE Secondary students studying PGCE Biology, Chemistry, Design & Technology, Information Technology, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages (MFL), Physics and Welsh, with a previous degree classification of 2.2 or higher, will be entitled to receive an incentive of £15,000. Three payments will be made to eligible students over their ITE programme and early career.

The Teacher Training Incentive Scheme (2022) (“the Scheme”) has not yet been made by the Welsh Ministers. A copy of the Scheme will be available here once it has been made by the Welsh Ministers in the exercise of their powers.

Bursaries for PGCE students who are NOT eligible for Teacher Training Initiatives

Bangor University has introduced bursaries for PGCE students from the EU and UK outside of Wales*, who are NOT eligible to receive the Teaching Training Incentives. These bursaries will be assessed on a student’s taxable household income and awarded in the second semester.

Bangor Bursaries:

Further information about the Bangor Bursaries is available on this page of the University website:

*ALL Welsh students will receive a non-means tested £1,000 Welsh Government Learning Grant from the Welsh Government instead of the Bangor Bursary.
