Hi,

I'm currently in the midst of applying to several PhD projects one of which is at Oxford. However, i know that fees at oxford comprise of both university and college fees. I know that at other universities the UK research council's funding will cover any university fees and is paid "behind the scene". But am I as a student accountable for the college fees? i.e. do i pay them out of my living expense budget reducing it by by £2-3K? Or is the funding for an Oxbridge PhD typically higher to accommodate for this like it would be in central London? I believe the project will be funded by BBSRC or NERC.

I really appreciate any help and advice you can give me on this. Cheers:-)
