International Students

Fees

You should note that international undergraduates pay a higher rate of tuition fee than UK and EU students, and are also liable for an additional College fee.

If you are commencing your studies in 2013, please visit our Fees, Funding and Scholarship Search to check the fees for your course. Fee information for international students considering applying for 2014 will be released in summer 2013.

Living Costs

The University has provided information on basic term time living costs for UK students. Students from outside the UK must also take into account the additional cost of where they live during the vacations which could include the cost of travelling home or paying additional rent to remain in Oxford. Whether students travel to and from Oxford at the start and end of term, or stay in Oxford during the vacations, these additional travel or accommodation costs will need to be covered.

Students who are coming from overseas should ensure they have budgeted for additional costs such as visas. They may be required to complete a financial guarantee in order to have their place at Oxford confirmed and will need to show they have enough funding for the length of their course.
