University of Oxford

Oxford is a collegiate university: you belong to a college as well as to your department, and the college provides accommodation, meals and small-group teaching. Undergraduates make up 47% of students and graduates 51%.

Oxford sits just behind Imperial College London and ahead of Cambridge in the 2027 QS table.

Oxford publishes one overseas fee range for bachelor’s degrees and a separate fee on each graduate course page.

Clinical medicine costs much more for overseas students. Fees usually rise each year for continuing students.

Meeting the minimum does not mean an offer. Oxford shortlists on grades, test scores and written work, then interviews.

English language scores

Each graduate course page states whether it uses the standard or the higher level.

Oxford has one intake a year. The academic year starts in October, and almost no course admits at any other time.

Graduate funding is decided from the applications received by the December or January deadline, so apply by then even if your course has a later deadline.

1. Check your qualification

   With HSC alone you cannot apply for a bachelor’s. Plan for A levels or the IB, or apply at master’s level after your degree.

2. Bachelor’s: apply through UCAS by the October deadline

   Most courses also need an admissions test, and shortlisted applicants are interviewed in December.

3. Graduate: apply on Oxford’s own form

   Submit transcripts, references, a statement and any written work by the course deadline.

4. Complete the financial declaration

   You confirm you can pay the fees and at least the lower living-cost figure before your place is confirmed.

5. Apply for the UK Student visa

   Use your CAS, a TB test certificate from an IOM clinic and 28 days of financial evidence.

Oxford’s fees, funding and scholarship search lists college and department awards by nationality and course. Chevening, Commonwealth and GREAT Scholarships are national awards open to Bangladeshi master’s applicants.

These are Oxford’s likely living costs for one month in 2027-28.

For the visa you must show £1,171 a month for 9 months (£10,539) outside London, or £1,529 a month (£13,761) in London, on top of your first year of tuition. The figures rise to £1,203 and £1,570 for applications from 30 November 2026.

What one year costs in total

A one-year MSc in Advanced Computer Science comes to roughly £64,000 to £72,500: £46,350 in fees plus £17,700 to £26,100 for 12 months of living costs.
