2014 Undergraduate Student Funding
We are committed to ensuring students from the UK and EU understand the costs and funding for them if they choose to apply to the University of Oxford.
While many universities are offering either tuition fee reductions or bursaries in 2014, Oxford will be providing both.
Oxford tuition fee reductions
The tuition fee for one year of undergraduate study for UK/EU students studying for their first degree from 2014 is between £3,500 and £9,000 in the first year and between £6,000 and £9,000 in further years, depending on household income.
UK/EU students do not have to pay any tuition fees upfront.
All UK/EU undergraduate students who are liable for the full £9,000 tuition fee and whose household income is £25,000 or less will receive a reduction in their tuition fee.
Household Income | Fee in first year | Fee after first year |
£0 - £16,000 | £3,500 | £6,000 |
£16,001 - £20,000 | £7,000 | £7,000 |
£20,001 - £25,000 | £8,000 | £8,000 |
£25,001 + | £9,000 | £9,000 |
Oxford bursary support
All UK/EU undergraduate students whose household income is less than £42,621 will receive an Oxford bursary to help them with their living costs at Oxford. The bandings below show the annual bursaries available from Oxford, dependent upon household income before tax.
Household income | Bursary | Additional start-up bursary |
£16,000 or less | £3,300 | £1,000 |
£16,001 - £20,000 | £3,000 |

£30,001 - £35,000 | £1,500 | |
£35,001 - £40,000 | £1,000 | |
£40,001 - £42,620 | £500 | |
£42,621 and above | £0 | £0 |
Government support
The level of financial support available to students from the UK government is dependent on where you live and on your household income. All UK students can access a basic level of support to cover their fees and assist with their living costs. Those students from lower-income households are also eligible to receive non-repayable maintenance grants and increased maintenance loans.
The 2014 government support has been announced for English students and EU students, however funding informaton for students from the rest of the UK has not yet been confirmed.
Scottish students, Northern Irish students, and Welsh students should therefore use the information on the 2013 funding arrangements as a guide to the costs and support available to them in 2014. This will be updated as soon as it is available.
International and Islands students should use the information on the relevant webpages as a guide to the costs and any support available to them for 2014.
