Course fees
Course fees are payable each year, for the duration of your fee liability (your fee liability is the length of time for which you are required to pay tuition fees). Course fees for the MSc Financial Economics also include membership of the Oxford Union.
Course fees cover teaching as well as other academic services and facilities provided to support your studies. Unless specified in the additional information section below, course fees do not cover your accommodation, residential costs or other living costs. They also don’t cover any additional costs and charges that are outlined in the additional information below.
Additional cost information
There are no compulsory elements of this programme that entail additional costs beyond fees and living costs. However, you may choose a project-based elective topic. Depending on your choice of topic and the research required to complete it, you may incur additional expenses, such as travel expenses, research expenses and field trips. You will need to meet these additional costs, although you may be able to apply for small grants from your department and/or college to help you cover some of these expenses. This programme may also run optional pre-course workshops in and outside the UK. Teaching and networking costs will be covered for such workshops, but you would be responsible for your own travel and accommodation costs if you opt to join these workshops. This programme requires that you are primarily taught in Oxford; you will need to incur travel and accommodation costs to attend the programme if you do not live in the Oxford area.
Cost of living
You will also need to ensure you have adequate funds to support your living costs for the duration of your programme. Please view the University's living expenses page for information about likely living costs for 2025-26.
