PMT Education began as a website for students to access physics and maths resources for free. Six years later, we now offer study materials for eight subjects and guidance for university admissions tests. We believe that by offering resources for free we are helping students of all abilities and backgrounds achieve the grades they need to succeed, whatever their ambitions.
PMT Education has developed a range of revision and university admission preparation courses to help individuals realise their full potential. We are aware that these courses are not free, but we do not want that to prevent certain students from benefiting from them. For this reason, we have established a GCSE and A Level bursary scheme which awards free places on our courses to students from low-income and disadvantaged backgrounds.
We reserve free places on all of our courses and award them to those who have applied through our GCSE and A Level bursary scheme. On every course, we have a possible two free places available for bursary application students. Once applications have closed we will assess the submissions using the criteria laid out below and make a shortlist of the individuals who have impressed us.
We also have a waiting list of applicants for bursaries. If there are any unbooked spots available after the course’s booking deadline has passed, we will contact those on the waiting list to see if they would like to fill them.
