What is the salary and ROI for an Indian student after Oxford Mfin, considering the fees and living costs?

Question

The MFin brand is strong ,  but the payoff depends entirely on where you work after.
&bull; In London, IB and PE roles can pay &pound;80K&ndash;&pound;100K+ total comp in year one, especially with bonuses &bull; But those roles are competitive, and visa timelines are tight &mdash; you usually need to convert an offer before the course ends &bull; Middle East jobs (Dubai, Qatar) pay &pound;60K&ndash;&pound;75K and have fewer visa issues &bull; Indian placements are far less lucrative &mdash; post-MFin roles in India rarely cross ₹40 LPA, even at top firms &bull; Scholarships are limited &mdash; most Indian students fund through loans, so the debt pressure is real
The ROI looks good only if you break into high-paying roles abroad. If the fallback is India, recovering the full cost can take 4&ndash;5+ years.

For Indian students, the total cost of Oxford MFin &mdash; including tuition (&pound;62,920) and living expenses &mdash; comes to around &pound;75,000&ndash;&pound;81,000 (₹80&ndash;88 lakhs).
Recent salary data isn&rsquo;t publicly available on the MFin page, but based on reports and recruiter data, grads working in London post-MFin typically earn &pound;60,000&ndash;&pound;85,000 base, with some reaching six figures including bonuses in IB, AM, or PE roles.
If you land a front-office role in London or the Middle East, you can realistically recover costs in 1.5&ndash;2.5 years. But if you return to India, post-MFin roles usually pay ₹25&ndash;40 LPA, so ROI stretches longer.
The program has strong ROI only if you convert a high-paying role abroad. Without prior finance experience or a strong GMAT, the risk of not getting that role is higher &mdash; and that&rsquo;s where the ROI weakens.

T Mehta · Answer

The average salary after Oxford MFin is around &pound;60,000&ndash;&pound;70,000, with many graduates earning more in investment banking or private equity roles in London. Tuition for the program is about &pound;53,000, and with living expenses in Oxford, the total cost reaches around &pound;65,000&ndash;&pound;70,000 for the year.
Oxford&rsquo;s own career report shows a high placement rate in London finance, which is what drives the strong ROI. For Indian students, the program cost can usually be recovered within 2&ndash;3 years if placed in top finance jobs.
Visa sponsorship is available, but competition is tough, so ROI depends on securing a UK or global role. Returning to India straight after graduation reduces ROI because of lower salary levels.

Aarushi S · Answer

The salary and ROI after Oxford MFin are quite strong for Indian students, even considering the high cost. The program is one year, so while the upfront cost is heavy, the break-even period is shorter than a two-year degree.

Total cost (fees + living): about &pound;65K&ndash;&pound;70K.
Average graduate salary: &pound;60K&ndash;&pound;70K, with top investment banking packages crossing &pound;90K including bonuses.
Consulting and asset management roles are slightly lower but still competitive, around &pound;55K&ndash;&pound;65K.
For Indian students working in London, ROI is usually 2&ndash;3 years. Returning to India stretches it longer, since salaries average ₹25&ndash;35 LPA. Currency exchange also plays a role&mdash;repaying loans in GBP with INR income takes more time and reduces the short-term ROI.

One added benefit is the Oxford network, which helps graduates tap into finance roles not just in the UK but across Europe and Asia, improving long-term career value.For more details you can read this blog on "Oxford MFin salary "
