Costs

How much will it cost to study at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û? 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 .

    Education

    The best element of this course is its multidisciplinary approach to the study of education, and the incorporation of other subject areas. The incredible diversity of a week’s lectures has challenged me to think holistically and to write with versatility. As someone with very wide interests, I have thoroughly enjoyed the breadth of subjects spanned on the course, and it has allowed me to find areas of particular interest in which to specialise in my final year. The drama papers are excitingly full of potential to work with your course...

    Computer Science

    I joined Jesus in 2011 to read Computer Science. At school I had done a lot of mathematics, so the theoretical nature of the Cambridge course appealed to me. As well as a strong theoretical grounding, however, the course gives a thorough introduction to many practical aspects early on, such as chip design and a variety of programming languages. There are plenty of opportunities later in the course to expand on these, and the result is an education that is both wide ranging and in depth. I took a particular...

    History

    Before applying, I thought it was far out of my reach, that Cambridge was only for naturally gifted geniuses, but after I started studying I realised that couldn’t be further from the truth. The vast majority of people here work hard and love their subject, by far the most important factors for making the most of studying your subject at university. Jesus has a really strong contingent of historians sitting a range of papers, so we all give each other help and advice as well as learning from academic staff...

    Medicine

    Studying Medicine at Jesus for the past two years has been a great privilege. The course has been challenging, but extremely rewarding, especially as I enjoyed biology at school. The course is packed full of science for the first two years, and in third year you can choose to study a similar or entirely unrelated course. After that there are three years of clinical studies. Renowned for its amazing musical, arts, and sporting facilities, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û not only gives you a top-class medical education but a true sense of belonging...

    The content of the Psychological and Behavioural Sciences Tripos has truly opened my eyes to the world and continues to deepen my understanding of the myriad of factors that influence everything from interpersonal interactions to widespread social issues that we face everyday. The multidisciplinary nature of the course provides many dimensions of knowledge that can help in any discussion you might find yourself in!
