Financial support for EU undergraduate students
You may be worried about the cost of coming to university but there is financial support available. A government loan to cover your tuition fees is available to EU students, and you may also be eligible for a fee waiver.
Tuition loan
You don't pay for tuition up front
The UK government provides a loan to cover your full tuition charges. You or your parents don't have to contribute anything now – you start to pay them back yourself once you graduate and are earning at least £21,000 a year.
If you would like to study part-time, you will now be eligible for a loan to cover the cost of tuition . As with full-time students, you only start to repay this as a graduate earning over £21,000.
Repaying your loan
Repayments will be 9% of any income above £21,000, so the amount you repay each month will depend on your earnings. Examples of monthly repayments for loans covering tuition and living costs:
| Salary | Monthly Repayments |
| £21,000 | £0 |
| £21,500 | £4 |
| £24,000 | £23 |
| £25,000 | £30 |
| £27,000 | £45 |
| £30,000 | £68 |
Repayments will be deducted automatically from your pay packet. All outstanding repayments will be written off after 30 years.
Fee waivers
If your household income is below £40,000, you should be eligible for a fee waiver (a reduction in your tuition fee). Our fee waivers scheme is available to qualifying students for each year of their studies, and does not need to be paid back. It is available to all eligible UK and EU students.
The scheme will be partly funded by the government's National Scholarship Programme.
| Household income | Fee waiver |
| £0 - £4,999 | £2,500 |
| £5,000 - £14,999 | £2,000 |
| £15,000 - £39,999 | £1,000 |
Hardship funds
The university has a long and successful history of supporting students who find themselves in unexpected hardship during their studies. We hope we will soon have details of any schemes which we can put in place for 2012.
Reduced travel costs
We will provide a free BrookesBus pass for all eligible Oxford-based full-time undergraduate students. The full eligibility criteria have not yet been finalised, but will be announced on this website when available.
