Course fees for 2027 entry

The course fees paid by matriculated students* are for the provision of tuition, supervision, academic services and facilities by the University (including your department or faculty) and the colleges, but do not include residential or other living costs.

Up to and including the academic year 2018/19, separate figures have been published on the university website for university fees and for college fees: the total payable is the sum of these two figures. From the academic year 2019/20, course fees for matriculated students are published as a single figure. This change is intended to ensure that the total level of fees payable is in all cases completely clear. Home undergraduate and PGCE students can access a tuition fee loan from the UK government to cover their course fee in full.

The course fees you pay include your fees for both University and college services and are divided between the University (including your department or faculty) and your college on a formula basis. More details are available from the Student Fees Team on request.

*For an explanation of the term ‘matriculated students’, see our Matriculation page.

If you are a Home student undertaking your first undergraduate degree, current university policy is to charge fees at the level of the cap set by the government, which for 2027/28 will be £10,050.

For details of annual increases, please see our guidance on likely increases to fees and charges. 

Home students can access a tuition fee loan from the UK government for the full amount of your course fee and do not need to pay any fees upfront. 

If you wish to pay your own course fees upfront rather than accessing a loan, further information on the arrangements for this can be found in our Payments and Refunds and Fee Liability pages.

Previous study

If you are a Home student who has already completed a previous undergraduate programme of study you will be classed as an Equivalent or Lower Qualification (ELQ) student.  Your course fee for 2027 will be the same as the standard Home course fee rate, and you will not be eligible for any financial support from Oxford or the UK government. If you did not complete your course, you might not receive funding for the full length of your studies at Oxford.

Information for applicants from the EU, EEA and Switzerland

If you are an EU, EEA or Swiss national and normally live outside the UK, you are likely to be charged Overseas fees. However, you may qualify for Home fee status under the relevant regulations and UKCISA guidance if you have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, or if you fall within another eligible category and meet the relevant eligibility and residence requirements.

If you are not classified as a 'Home' student you will be classed as an 'Overseas’ student and you should be aware that you will not be eligible for a tuition fee loan from the UK government. If you are an Overseas student, you will be charged a significantly higher level of course fee, which will vary according to your programme of study (see the courses listing for full details).

* Clinical medicine fees will be significantly higher for Overseas students, please visit the dedicated Fees and Funding section within the Medicine course page for full details.

If you are a Home student on the six-year medicine course, you will have different course fee arrangements in years five and six. Course fees for UK students in these years of study will be covered by the NHS. Course fee support arrangements for ROI students in years five and six are not yet known. Visit the Funding for UK Medical Students page for more information. Medical students with Overseas fee status should note that the course fees for the clinical years of their course will be considerably higher.

Broadly speaking, your fee status depends on your nationality, your immigration status in the UK, where you have been living and what you have been doing for the three years prior to the start of your course. Please visit our fee status page for more information.

Home students will be required to pay a year abroad course fee of 15% of the full course fee that applies in that year. Overseas students will be charged a reduced rate of course fee for their year abroad. Visit the Year Abroad Fees page for further information on fee rates.

Fees and charges will usually increase annually. For details, please see our guidance on likely increases to fees and charges.
