Everything you need to know about course costs and potential funding
Naturally, you will have questions about fees and funding for the National Modern Languages SCITT course.
As a trainee, you will need to fund the tuition fees and provide for your living costs. You may also find it useful to put together a budget for what you think you may need. This could cover expenditure items such as:
- Books
- Travel
- Accommodation
- Food
- Equipment
- Entertainment
We are happy to talk to you about fees and funding so that you can get a clear idea of what you may need.
