Costs

How much will it cost to study at Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ? Find out more about tuition fees and likely living costs.

Tuition fees

The tuition fees you pay for your course will depend on whether you are classed as a home or overseas student. We've provided some more information below, but if you're unsure of your fee status, you can find more information .

Home students

Tuition fees for students qualifying for Home fee status are regulated and capped by the government. Details of fees for 2023-24 are published .

Currently, Home students can take out a government loan for their tuition fees. If you do this you can defer payment of the loan until after you’ve left university and are earning a certain minimum salary, at which point you’ll start to repay the loan in instalments.

Overseas students

Whether you're counted as an overseas student depends on where you live and your nationality. If you've been living in the UK for reasons other than education, for three years immediately before the start of your university course, you typically won't be defined as an overseas student. Home students whose families have been temporarily posted abroad usually won't be considered as overseas students either. 

Most EU, EEA and Swiss students commencing their studies in October 2023 will be classified as international/overseas students. Please see the for more details.

Tuition fees for international students vary depending on the course you're studying.

International students also have to pay an additional College fee each year, which varies slightly between Colleges. For 2023-24 our fee is £11,486.

Living costs

We offer accommodation to all undergraduates throughout their course.

Your total living costs - including rent, food, books and study materials, clothing, entertainment etc - will obviously depend on your lifestyle, but we estimate that around £11,020 a year should cover everything for a home student in 2023-24.

If you're an overseas student your expenses may be higher, for instance if you have to stay in the UK during vacations. Again, living costs will vary by lifestyle, but we estimate that you'll need around Â£12,400.

The University website has a more detailed breakdown of .

Don't worry that you won't be able to afford to study with us. Financial help is available from the College and the University.

    For the last two years, the politics and international relations track has given me the opportunity to study the politics of the modern world and a cross section of the centuries of philosophy that underpin it. This year, from a selection of every major region, I chose to focus on the Middle East, and the course has given a real insight into topics that seem to be more often discussed than understood, like the Arab Spring and the Syrian Civil War. From supervisors through to my Director of Studies, I...

    Natural Sciences (Biological)

    I am a second year Natural Scientist at Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ studying biochemistry, cell and developmental biology and chemistry. I was particularly drawn to this course as it offers a wide range of both physical and biological subjects, with the opportunity to increasingly specialise over the years. For me studying in this multidisciplinary environment has been hugely beneficial and will be a great advantage for later research. For Natural Science students, a lot of the contact time is at the University level. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to meet people...

    I've thoroughly enjoyed studying Human, Social, and Political Sciences (HSPS) at Jesus. I was nervous before I arrived, but the friendly community of students and staff immediately put me at ease. Not only is the college library a great place to study, it can also get pretty much any book for you on request! Great for a sudden wave of inspiration based on something off the reading list... Outside of academia, the college has been ramping up its connections to industry and career support, which has been invaluable in calming...

    Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion

    I chose to do Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion at Cambridge because it was the most diverse and flexible course for this subject available. Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion is a broad subject that encompasses a lot of my passions including literature, language, and history; skills required for each of these disciplines are challenged and developed by the course. The Faculty is great environment for learning, with a friendly atmosphere and a fantastic library working space. It is a pleasure in particular to be a theologian at Jesus...

    Education

    Studying Education has enabled me to study a broad range of interests within the parameters of my degree. From black feminist theory, to discussing what exactly it means to be 'educated', I have been fortunate enough to explore these areas in depth. The Education Tripos enables students to combine varying interests and passions into a single, well structured, and hugely enjoyable University degree.
