Supporting students. Increased fees may bring a significant new challenge in attracting students from lower income households, and therefore this agreement contains proposals for a very generous package of financial support for students from less well-off families.1 Oxford’s collegiate system provides every undergraduate with the bedrock of their university career. College tutors guide and support students, overseeing their intellectual and personal development. Tutorials are delivered in colleges, and most students live in their college for at least two years of their course. Each college offers an extensive network of welfare services, ranging from student peer group support, to advisers, chaplains and counsellors, and has a doctor and a nurse associated with it. This is complemented by the services provided by the University, as outlined in paragraphs 70-79. 1 The information contained in this agreement regarding tuition charges relates to students eligible for student support under the Education (Student Support) Regulations 2009 and entering into education for the first time in 2012-13. It therefore excludes students from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The information regarding bursaries relates to students settled in the UK and ordinarily resident in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and to EU nationals ordinarily resident in the EEA or Switzerland. The University will need to consider its response to the funding of medical and PGCE students when more information is available. It will also be necessary further to consider carefully the position of part-time undergraduate level provision at Oxford, once future arrangements for funding this mode of provision, and associated student support measures, have become clear.
