    The funding available is very different for each course, and also varies by where you are from, whether you choose to be financially assessed, and the year of the course you are in. You should be aware of what funding, if any, is available to pay your tuition fees and help support your living costs during each year of your course.

    Six-year course for students with no previous undergraduate degree (A100)
    Years 1 - 4

    During the first four years of the six-year medicine course, government support is available through your relevant funding agency. Support for living costs is available to UK students on the same basis as all other Home undergraduate students.

    UK and EU students will be eligible for an Oxford Bursary based on household income, and will need to apply to be means-tested to be considered for this.

    Years 5 - 6
    In Years five and six, tuition fees are paid in full by the NHS for all Home and EU students. The support is not means-tested, and does not need to be repaid.

    UK students can also access a maintenance loan from their regional funding agency, but this will be at a reduced rate for students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland who can apply for a means-tested NHS bursary in years five and six. Students from England and Wales are also eligible for an additional non means-tested NHS grant of £1,000.

    Students from Scotland will continue to be eligible to be assessed for the means-tested maintenance loan and grant available to them in years one to four.

    UK and EU students will continue to be eligible for an Oxford Bursary based on the latest household income assessment provided.
