Financial information for offer-holders

This page is part of the offer-holders section for students who have been offered an undergraduate place at Christ's College. 

Your offer letter sets out the annual tuition fees for your course in the box on the first page, and in the 'tuition fees and other costs' section, there is also an estimate of additional expenses for accommodation, living expenses and personal expenses whilst you are a student. When you receive your offer letter, please take time to read it carefully as well as the financial information on the University admissions website, which includes information for overseas students.

Once you start your course

All the practical information about joining Christ's will be sent to you in the September before you start. 

For information, College Bills are normally sent to students in the days before each full term (so, three times a year) and payment of your bill is due two weeks after the start of full term. Full details about the payment of fees and College bills etc. will be included in the practical information about joining the College.
