Further Education and Higher Education (FE/HE) Funding Scheme
The University is committed to providing staff with both the training necessary to perform their current work effectively; and opportunities to develop further skills to support future duties and career development.
Further Education (FE) Funding Scheme

Student Payments & Registration Team guidance
You must fill in an FE/HE Scheme application form for each year of funding requested. Please note that we cannot guarantee to meet the costs of your course if you do not list all costs on your application. Please also ensure that all appropriate exam results are forwarded to us with your application.
If you are studying with the University of Manchester please contact Student Services for further information. A Tuition Fee Administration and Policies document is available from the Student Services Centre.
This scheme does not typically fund short courses e.g. courses that take less than one academic year to complete. If your course is less than one academic year and is not a GCSE, vocationally based A level, professional qualification or vocationally oriented degree we suggest the External Training Funding Scheme is more appropriate.
Applications should be received by Learning & Organisational Development Team at least one month prior to the course start as these can take up to one month to process.
External Training (ET) Funding Scheme
This scheme exists to support staff attending specific job-related training and meeting development needs that cannot be met from within the University.
Please note that applications to attend Academic Conferences will not be supported under this scheme.
If you are applying for funding towards GCSEs, vocationally based A levels, professional qualifications and vocationally oriented degrees you should complete the online form for the Further Education (FE) Funding Scheme.
Applications should be received by Learning & Organisational Development Team at least one month prior to the course start as these can take up to one month to process:
