Costs and Funding
COSTS
Your main costs will be your living expenses and your fees (comprising University & College fees)
- Living expenses, which include rent, food etc., are between c. £1,290 and £1,840 for each month spent in Oxford for a single person, depending on your lifestyle. You will find it useful to read the information provided at How much will it cost to live in Oxford?
- The University tuition fees vary substantially, depending on your chosen course and your fee status. Your fee status is determined by your nationality and country of residence. Most students will be charged either at the standard Home rate or the overseas rate. Please see the Course page on the Graduate Admissions website for full cost details.
