Fees & Funding

— filed under:

This site provides information for prospective graduate students, including details about how much it will cost to study at Oxford and advice about how to look for funding to help finance your study.

Tuition fees do not include college fees, accommodation, or other course and maintenance fees. Use the filters to choose your entry year to the programme and to compare fees within a Division or within a department or faculty.  The rates listed are for one academic year. You should expect to pay tuition fees for every year you are in attendance and be aware these fees will increase annually.  A Fees Calculator is also available to help new entrants determine the amount they are liable to pay for the first year of their course.

Funding

Competition for scholarships and grants to study in the UK is extremely strong and there are usually strict requirements. You should check carefully that you are eligible to apply for a particular scholarship before making an application, as most of the schemes are restricted to certain nationalities and/or courses.  We advise you to start looking for funding as soon as you have decided to apply to Oxford, if not before.

See Graduate Scholarships

If you are an international student, you should also contact the Ministry of Education or Education Department in your own country for information on national aid schemes, as well as your nearest British Council Office

for advice on opportunities and funding for studying abroad.
