2013 Funding: English Students
Student finance applications have now opened for the 2013/14 academic year for students from England. Students are advised to apply online at Student Finance England before Easter to ensure that funding is in place for the start of their course.
The tuition charge for one year of undergraduate study for English students studying for their first degree at Oxford from 2013 will be dependent upon a student's household income. Significant reductions are available to students from the lowest income households. Part of the funding for this comes from the National Scholarship Programme. English students will be able to access a loan for the full amount of their tuition charge from Student Finance England. You do not need to pay this cost upfront.
Information for prospective students who have studied at undergraduate level before is available on our site for those with previous study.
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 |
Living costs & support
The University estimates that basic term time living costs for students starting in 2013 will be £7,900. To meet these costs there is financial support available from both the UK government and the University of Oxford. The level of this support is dependent upon household income, which is usually the combined income of the parents or carers you currently live with. Students must be financially assessed in their funding application to Student Finance England; the University also uses this figure in allocating its own funding.
Government Funding through Student Finance England
- All students can receive a basic maintenance loan of £3,575, no matter what their household income.
- Students from households with incomes less than £42,612 can receive a student loan plus an additional non-repayable grant from the government.
- Students from households with incomes less than £25,000 will be entitled to full grant of £3,354; if their household income is between £25,000 and £42,611 they will be entitled to a partial grant of between £3,354 and £50. They can also apply for a maintenance loan.
University & College Funding
In addition to the support available from the government, students in receipt of a maintenance grant will be provided with additional financial support to cover some of the costs associated with living in Oxford, and also enable them to take advantage of the many opportunities Oxford has to offer its students.
