Fees and Funding
Tuition Fees
Tuition fees for 2016/17 as agreed by OFFA for The Tommy Flowers SCITT MK are £9,000.
Assessment of students resident in England is carried out by Student Finance England which will be administered by the Student Loans Company; for those in Wales by the Local Education Authorities; for those student resident in Northern Ireland by Education and Library Boards; and for those students resident in Scotland by the Student Awards Agency of Scotland.
The appropriate authority will firstly determine whether you are eligible for means testing under this system and secondly the amount of Government support you should receive. This will depend on your own and, in most cases, your legal guardian’s or spouse’s/partner’s income.

Tuition Fee Loans:
Eligible students who have a personal liability for fees will be able to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan to cover these costs. This means that they won’t have to find the money before they start their course or whilst they are studying, and the fees will be paid direct to their teacher training provider on their behalf by the Student Loans Company. There is no upper age limit imposed for tuition fee loans. This loan will be repaid once a student has left university and is earning £21,000.
Some students elect to pay their own fees which are due at the beginning of the course.
EU students who have come to the UK purely for the purpose of a Teacher Training Course (PGCE) will be eligible to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan. They will not be eligible for the Maintenance Loan or Maintenance Grant.
Students should apply on form EU11N for the Tuition Fee Loan at: www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance-eu
