St Cross College, Oxford

All students are required to pay the appropriate University course fee in addition to the College fee. Information on fees and living costs can be found here.

The College's fee for 2012-13 is £2,532 for almost all courses; the College’s graduate fee for the MBA is £3,150; and exceptional arrangements apply for a small number of cases.

Information about the process of paying fees at St Cross can be found here.

Students must prove they have the financial capability to pay both sets of fees (College and University) as well as funding to cover maintenance costs for the entire course duration, in order to be accepted by the College. Your funding for the first year of study must be held in cash. Shares, bonds, pension funds and similar savings accounts will not be accepted. You must show that you have held the money for at least 28 days. 

If you are using overseas currency, we will expect you to show ( write on the document) the closing balance in pounds sterling. We use the official exchange rate on the OANDA website. You can prove you have the money if you have:

• Cash in an account in your name: this includes joint accounts with your name if the co-owner sends a letter to verify that they will be content for the ( quote relevant sum) to be used for your support.
• A loan in your name
• Official financial or government sponsorship.

Please note that all funds must be shown in a Savings bank account, as opposed to a current bank account, and shares are not acceptable as proof of funding.

Any partners or children whom you want to bring with you must have documentary proof that they have enough money to support themselves or be supported. For further information see the website of the UK Border Agency.

For those students intending to proceed to a DPhil please supply evidence of funding to support fees for 3 years and maintenance for 4 years.

Please note that, in common with the policy of other colleges, those accepted on a research programme, which inludes those taking a DPhil, MLitt and MSc (by research), will be liable for a College continuation charge each term if they have not completed the course by the end of their standard period of fee liability (liability for tuition fees continues for 9 terms). For those accepted for a DPhil course beginning in the academic year 2011-12, and therefore possibly liable for a College continuation charge in 2014-5, the continuation charge will be £100 per term (including the term in which the thesis is submitted). Please note that the College continuation charge is in addition to the anticipated University continuation charge of £400 per term. More information is available on the University website and a set of FAQ's is provided here.
