Institute of Mathematics - Mathematics teacher training scholarships

What you get

You will have the opportunity to train as a maths teacher at University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) in the United Kingdom. The funding runs for 12 months. It is aimed at students on a postgraduate teacher training programme in mathematics, such as a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education), which is the standard route to becoming a school teacher in England.

Who can apply

• Course: You are undertaking training to become a maths teacher as part of a postgraduate programme at the University of the West of England, Bristol.
• Where you study: You’re studying at UWE Bristol in the United Kingdom.
• Nationality: You are from an EU country.

How realistic are your chances?

This funding scheme is very narrowly defined. You must be studying for a maths teaching qualification at a specific university, which means the pool of eligible candidates is small and there are few applicants competing for this funding. If you are already enrolled on the relevant degree programme at UWE Bristol and meet the requirements, your chances are good. Places on mathematics teacher training programmes are often actively promoted, which may work in your favour.
