Fees and Funding

There are three types of expense to budget for when calculating the cost of graduate study:

• University tuition fee

  Fees are payable for each year of your course. Most courses have a maximum period for which fees are payable. The rate you pay depends on the University’s assessment of your fee status as ‘Home/EU’ or ‘Overseas’ and on the qualifications you already hold.

• College fee

  The college fee covers academic facilities and other services provided by your college. The fee, which you will need to pay each year to your college for the period you are liable for fees, does not include accommodation or meal charges and is payable in addition to the University tuition fee.

• Living costs

University tuition and college fees are fixed for each year, but will increase from one year to the next. These are usually payable to your college.

To work out your fee totals, please use the Fees, Funding and Scholarship Search tool.

We advise you to start looking for funding as soon as you have decided to apply to Oxford, if not before.

Start by using the Fees, Funding and Scholarship Search tool to search the wide range of graduate scholarships offered by the collegiate University. The results link directly to relevant scholarship webpages containing full information about eligibility and how to apply.

The Graduate Scholarships page has further information about the different types of funding that may be available to you.

Before applying for scholarships, read the eligibility criteria thoroughly and make sure you submit your application by the correct deadline.

It is important to note that most fully funded opportunities at Oxford are only available to students about to start a new course. Once you are registered/enrolled as a student, there are few substantive scholarships available.
