Tuition fees

OCMS is changing the way fees are structured. Please note carefully the fee structure in the following sections.

A. For the OCMS Stage

Enrolment is the first step in defining the status of the research student. The admission process is completed by the name being entered on the roll of the Research Programme, when an offer of full enrolment by OCMS is accepted in writing by the applicant. In doing so the applicant is committed to a first residence of normally three months in the first year from the date of enrolment. Enrolment in OCMS, subject to satisfactory participation and progress, continues to the completion of the research, and fees are due annually.

The Research Induction School forms the first part of the OCMS Stage of the Research Degrees Programme.

It is important that participants discuss their financial needs with the Bursar's office if there are circumstances preventing them from meeting these obligations. Failure to meet your financial obligations will result in suspension of tutorial support and removal from access to the online campus.
