Can I get help paying my fees?

If you are an undergraduate home or EU student on a full-time course of Initial Teacher Training (ITT), you are eligible for tuition fee support on the same basis as other full-time undergraduates. This means that you may be eligible to apply to Student Finance England (SFE) for a Tuition Fee Loan to pay your fees. To find out more, have a look at our funding pages for full-time undergraduate students starting at Sussex in October 2010.
Home or EU students on part-time courses of ITT may be eligible for the same support available to other part-time undergraduates. This means you may be eligible to apply to SFE for a Fee Grant. For more information, have a look at our funding pages for part-time students.
Postgraduates
If you are a home or EU national student studying full-time on a postgraduate course that leads to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), for example a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), you may be eligible for a Tuition Fee Loan to pay your fees.
