Priority Funding

If you need to learn a language to support your studies, you can ask your college (if you are an undergraduate) or your department / faculty (if you are a postgraduate) to sponsor you via our Priority Funding scheme. This means that you do not pay for the course yourself and that your application will take priority over other learners. Examples of a Priority Funding application would be students needing to read texts in the target language, to undertake fieldwork or to take an internship in a country where this language is spoken.

The application process is currently being updated. Please check this page again soon.

For term-time courses, you may apply term by term or for the whole year. If you apply for more than one term, you will not need to re-enrol in the subsequent terms; we will do this for you automatically and charge your college or department/faculty. Please note that to apply for two different courses or languages under this scheme you will need to fill in two separate application forms.

The Priority Funding form for Trinity term courses will be available from Wednesday 16 September until 12:00 NOON on Wednesday 14 October.

Please note that Priority funding is not available for Fast Track courses, for more information on other types of funding for Fast Track courses, please visit the Fast Track pathway information page.
