Number 8 – Oxford University (Oxford, United Kingdom)
As one of the world’s most renowned and oldest universities, Oxford attracts top students globally – along with top tuition prices. For the recent year, international students at Oxford’s prestigious colleges paid between £29,230 and £39,665 ($35,000-$48,000) in tuition and fees alone.
On top of that, students must factor in living costs like accommodation, meals, supplies and other expenses. Oxford estimates this can run well over £15,000 ($18,000) annually. The university’s exceptional legacy, teaching quality, facilities and resources all contribute to its premium price tag.
Despite the costs, an Oxford education remains a golden ticket for many of the world’s highest-achieving students from affluent backgrounds willing and able to invest accordingly.
