Calculating the cost of an undergraduate Initial Teacher Education (ITE) course

Abstract

Through a documentary analysis approach, the data included in the validation documentation for a new course designed for undergraduate Initial Teacher Education are used in an attempt to calculate the direct costs of the course. The portion of the costs that are visible are then compared to the pricing policy of the funding agency involved. The devolution of financial responsibility within higher education is suggested as a means of making courses more responsive to market trends.
