2013 Funding: Northern Irish Students
Student finance applications have now opened for the 2013/14 academic year for students from Northern Ireland. Students are advised to apply online at Student Finance Northern Ireland before Easter to ensure that funding is in place for the start of their course.
Tuition charge & support
The tuition charge for one year of undergraduate study for students from Northern Ireland studying for their first degree from 2013 will be dependent upon a student's household income. Significant reductions are available to students from the lowest income households. 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 |
Students from Northern Ireland will be able to access a loan for the full amount of their tuition charge from Student Finance Northern Ireland. You do not need to pay this cost upfront.
Living costs & support
The University estimates that basic term time living costs for students in 2013/14 will be £7,900. The University has generous bursaries available to cover some of the costs associated with living in Oxford, and also enable students to take advantage of the many opportunities Oxford has to offer.
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 |
|
£20,001 - £25,000 | £2,500 | |
£25,001 - £30,000 | £2,000 | |
£30,001 - £35,000 | £1,500 | |
£35,001 - £40,000 | £1,000 | |
£40,001 - £42,611 | £500 | |
£42,612 and above | £0 | £0 |
Students from Northern Ireland will also be entitled to support for living costs from the Northern Ireland Assembly. The table below illustrates the 2013 support available through Student Finance Northern Ireland:
Household income | Maintenance Grant | Maintenance Loan |
£19,203 | £3,475 | £2,953 |
£25,000 | £2,201 | £3,289 |
£30,000 | £1,215 | £3,625 |
£35,000 | £689 | £4,151 |
£41,065 | £50 | £4,790 |
£45,000 | £0 | £4,476 |
£53,035 and above | £0 | £3,630 |
In order to access more than the basic level of maintenance loan, students should be financially assessed in their funding application to Student Finance Northern Ireland; the University uses the household income figure which is calculated in this assessment to allocate its own funding.
