Additional course costs

In addition to course fees, there may be specific costs related to some courses of study, such as travel to and from modules in Oxford, field trips and consumables. You should consult the funding and costs information on the relevant course page in our Courses section, to see if any such costs are likely to apply to your chosen course. As part of your course requirements, you may need to choose a dissertation, a project or a thesis topic. Please note that, depending on your choice of topic and the research required to complete it, you may incur additional expenses, such as travel expenses, research expenses, fieldtrips, language teaching, music tuition, art materials, etc. You will need to meet these additional costs, although you may be able to apply for small grants from your department to help you cover some of these expenses.
