University of Oxford

How to evaluate this university

The Oxford record deliberately focuses on the MSc in Advanced Computer Science. Its course page describes an intensive 12-month route for applicants with strong computing or mathematics preparation and possible specialist streams in artificial intelligence or foundations, subject to module and dissertation choices. A conversion applicant should not treat this as equivalent to UCL's Computer Science conversion MSc.

Interpreting the published cost

For 2027/28 the course page lists an overseas annual course fee of £46,350. This is tuition for the named MSc and not the cost of college accommodation or other living expenses. Check Oxford's fee-liability rules for your own status; scholarship consideration is tied to submitting a complete application by the relevant course deadline.

Before applying

The MSc page states a final deadline of 12:00 midday UK time on 6 January 2027 and specifies a first-class computer science or mathematics background or equivalent. A prospective applicant needs course-level evidence of academic fit and English language, rather than relying on the university's general graduate minimum. Funding decisions and document preparation should be planned around that January deadline.
