Fees

There are three types of expense to budget for when calculating the cost of graduate study:

• University tuition fee: The course fee for the Master of Public Policy is £30,000
  What does that equate to in your currency?
• College fee -The college fee covers academic facilities and other services provided by your college. The fee does not include accommodation or meal charges and is payable in addition to the University tuition fee. College fees vary from college to college but are between £2,238 and £2,465 GBP for the current year.
• Living costs - In 2010/11, the average living cost for a graduate student in shared accommodation was around £12,300, not including the costs of travel to and from Oxford.

More information is available on the University's page on fees and funding: cost of study.
