New in 2026 – Bursaries for Sampling a LCT Module
From January 2026
Thanks to the generosity of various funders we are able to offer a small number of opportunities for potential students to sample a LCT module for free. This applies to any modules taken in Church House, North Shields, such as our postgraduate courses. Almost all our undergraduate modules are also taught there. To apply for a Free Audit Bursary, please email enquiries@lindisfarnect.org for a module application form. This offer is only available to people who have not studied at LCT before. (Note: to ‘audit’ a module means to attend class sessions and do relevant preparatory reading, but not to submit assignments and receive academic credit. This offer does not extend to taking modules for credit.)
LCT Bursary Fund
The LCT Bursary Fund has been set up to provide financial assistance to independent students in meeting the fees of their programme of study at LCT. View the Bursary Fund Information Sheet.
