Oxford University Fees & Total Cost for Indian Students (2026)

Oxford sets course fees by department and qualification rather than charging a single university-wide rate. As an Indian student, you fall under the Overseas fee category.

The table below summarises overseas fees by study level and academic division.

1. Undergraduate

Oxford’s annual undergraduate tuition fees range from GBP 39,620 to GBP 66,580 (INR 51 lakh to INR 85.8 lakh), depending on the programme. STEM subjects are generally the most expensive, with Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering Science, Geology, Materials Science and Physics costing GBP 66,580 (INR 85.8 lakh) per year.

3. DPhil (PhD)

For international students, Oxford DPhil tuition fees range between GBP 32,690 and GBP 39,300 (INR 42.2 lakh to INR 50.7 lakh) per year. Many DPhil students hold a departmental studentship, a Research Council award, or a Clarendon Scholarship that covers fees in full plus a living stipend. 

Students who run past their fee period also pay a University continuation charge of GBP 680 (INR 87,720) per term for 2027-28, plus a college charge of GBP 100 to GBP 600 (INR 12,900 to INR 77,400).

4. Oxford MBA Fees

The one-year, full-time MBA in the UK at Saïd Business School costs GBP 94,120 (INR 1.2 crore). A non-refundable deposit of GBP 9,800 (INR 12.6 lakhs) is due within 30 days of accepting an offer and is later adjusted against the total fee. The Executive MBA, a part-time programme aimed at working professionals, has a tuition fee of GBP 140,360 per year (INR 1.8 crore).

5. Civil Law (BCL) and Magister Juris (MJur)

Oxford's one-year postgraduate law degrees, the BCL for common-law graduates and the MJur for civil-law graduates, both charge GBP 52,630 (INR 67.8 lakh) for international students, placing them among the more expensive one-year taught courses outside the Business School. 

Oxford application fees range from GBP 20 to GBP 75 (approximately INR 2,320 to INR 8,700), depending on the programme and application type. Fee waivers are limited to applicants from a list of low-income countries, refugees and displaced persons, and some UK applicants. India is not on that list. The fee is non-refundable and does not count toward your course fees.

The University of Oxford offers a range of fully funded and partially funded scholarships for Indian students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, helping reduce or cover the cost of attendance.

The collegiate University expects to offer over 1,200 full or partial graduate scholarships for 2027-28 entry. Apply by your course's December or January deadline to be considered for most of them.

The table below provides a list of scholarships available to Indian students at Oxford University:

International students at Oxford on a UK Student visa can generally work up to 20 hours per week during term time, across all jobs combined, whether on or off campus. They can usually work full-time during official university vacations, subject to the conditions of their visa.

Research students (DPhil and MSc by Research) follow no fixed term dates, so they can exceed 20 hours only during a vacation approved in writing by their supervisor. Self-employment, business activity and permanent full-time roles are not allowed.

• On-campus jobs: Oxford colleges and departments regularly hire students for administrative, library, and teaching-support roles. At the National Living Wage of GBP 12.71 (approx INR 1,640) per hour, the 20-hour weekly works out to roughly GBP 254 (INR 41,640) per week during term time. 
• Oxford Careers Service internships: The University's Internship Office runs a Summer Internship Programme and micro-internships lasting two to five days, both intended for students to gain UK work experience alongside their studies.
• Post-study work via the Graduate visa: TheUK Student visa grants two years of unsponsored work permission for bachelor's and master's graduates and three years for DPhil graduates. From 1 January 2027, the Graduate visa period for non-doctoral applicants will shorten to 18 months, while DPhil graduates will retain the three years. 

Don't choose an Oxford course based on the university's name or fees alone. Compare the exact tuition fee, living costs and available funding for your programme before deciding whether the overall investment works for you.
