A change of policy at Oxford University means postgraduates no longer have to prove their ability to pay for their course.
Students previously had to prove that they could afford their college’s fees and living costs for every year of their course.
Now postgraduates will have to give assurances that they can afford the costs, but only have to prove they have funding for the first year.
