Funding your postgraduate study at Oxford can feel complex, but there is a wide range of support available to help make your ambitions achievable. Whether you are exploring University and Oxford Lifelong Learning funding, researching scholarships, or using the postgraduate funding search tool and A–Z listings, you’ll find opportunities tailored to different courses, backgrounds, and circumstances. Dedicated programmes such as the Academic Futures scholarships offer targeted support, including schemes for under-represented groups, students from specific communities and those who may face barriers to higher education.
Beyond Oxford, you can also consider external funding options, government-backed student loans, and perhaps support from employers. Additional resources are available for international students, student parents, and those requiring disability or hardship support. Short-term bursaries, prizes, and course-specific awards can also help supplement your funding package.
We recommend checking your course web page for details of funding specific to your programme, and exploring the full range of options early to maximise your chances of securing support.
Be sure to check your course web page for specific funding, bursaries and scholarships.
