There is a standard fee of £1470 for each course attended, payable in advance. This includes course materials, and lunches during the teaching week, but not accommodation. The fee applies whether or not the attendee is working towards a postgraduate qualification, and regardless of nationality and residency. The Postgraduate Certificate will typically entail four course attendance fees, the Postgraduate Diploma eight, and the MSc ten. The MSc also requires attendance at a week-long project module in Oxford; there is no fee for this module, as the cost is included in the award fee for the MSc.
The examination and assessment of the course assignment is included in the course attendance fee. Should a student be granted permission to take the assignment for a later course in the same subject, an additional examination fee of £100 will apply.
There is an annual award fee of £2560 for any of the postgraduate qualifications; this is payable for one year for a Postgraduate Certificate, two years for a Postgraduate Diploma, and four years for an MSc. Students who are citizens of a member state of the European Community, and have been ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area for the past three years, may qualify for Home/EU status (see the University criteria for the full list), and a reduction of this annual award fee to £1570.
All payments must be completed before any postgraduate qualification will be awarded by the University. Payments made towards one qualification will be counted towards the total amount due should the student subsequently register for another.
These fees apply for course attendance and student registration between October 2009 and September 2010. They will increase annually in line with inflation, with the precise rate being determined by the University.
