My household income is less than £16,000

Oxford seeks to ensure that your financial circumstances do not prevent you from taking up a place on one of our courses. There are generous grants, loans and bursaries available to you, which are provided by the University and the government to fully meet the cost of studying and living at Oxford.

If your household income is less than £16,000 per year, you’re studying at degree level for the first time and you are from England, the following applies to you. 

Tuition Charge

The University will substantially reduce your tuition charge (repayable on graduation) so that in your first year the charge will be £3,500, and in subsequent years £6,000*. This is to ensure that in your first year you will not be charged any more than students on the current system.

This means that if your course lasts three years, you will need to repay a government contribution of £15,500 (rather than the full tuition charge of £27,000) and for a course which lasts four years, you will need to repay the government contribution of £21,500 (rather than the full tuition charge of £36,000). For details on the repayment system, see English Students.

Living Costs

We estimate basic living costs during term time at Oxford will be around £7,600*.  This figure includes living in college accommodation, food, study costs and going out.  You will also need to consider the cost of travelling to and from Oxford, vacation activities and the additional costs of living out of college accommodation which you might do for some of your course.

Terms at Oxford are very intensive and we think you will be able to make the best of them if you don’t have to work during term time. For this reason the University will propose a large bursary so you don’t have to work, as well as helping you with other opportunities which might become available outside of term such as internships,  clubs and societies. In your first year you will be given an additional £1,000 to assist with starting University and ensure you have funds to cover one off costs which you might encounter.

We cannot currently confirm arrangements for students outside England, or those who already have studied at University at  undergraduate level. For information on different household income levels from England please visit www.ox.ac.uk/fundingupdate/england

*The estimated amounts per year: the actual figures will vary slightly as arrangements are fully confirmed, for example there is likely to be a small increase in the fee annually.
