Am I eligible?
In order to be eligible for this scholarship program, you need to satisfy some requirements.
First, you must have or expect to achieve a 2:1 degree in French, Spanish or German.
If you have a 2:1 degree in another subject that proves you have brilliant language skills you’re also eligible to apply.
In some exceptional cases, you can be taken into consideration by the admission committee, if you have a relevant Master or PhD degree nor relevant experience.
Also:
You must ensure you’re able to receive support for a tuition fee via Student Finance England if you’re a resident student or an EU student. If you’re a citizen of Wales, Scotland or Ireland, you must be entitled to receive support from a home country institution that delivers financial support to students.
By September 2018 you must be registered on a leading-to-university training course (fee-based, non-salaried) of the English language.
This leading-to-university course may be such, it will equip you with a certain qualification (Qualified Teacher Status).
Trainees who aim to pursue a training course leading them to a Qualified Teacher and Learning Skills (QTLS) are not eligible because QTLS is for post-16 education. This is to say, you can’t obtain a QTLS if you’re on a pre-16 course.
The application period is open and it closes on 16 March 2018. Late submissions won’t be accepted, the announcement reads.
You can apply via an online application form which it may require you to fill all sections. Your eligibility will be assessed by a certain Admission Commission. If you’re admitted you’ll receive an invitation to a group Assessment Day.
