Student Contribution Charge

The Student Contribution Charge is €3,000.  The Student Contribution Charge is an annual charge which is set by the Government for all full-time third level students.  Students can apply to Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) for a grant which, if approved, may cover 100% of the Student Contribution Charge.

EU Tuition Fees

Many undergraduate students attending publicly funded third-level courses do not have to pay tuition fees. Under the terms of the Free Fees Initiative, the Government will pay these fees to the colleges instead.  Students undertaking a second undergraduate course, non-EU students, students studying by ACCS mode and students taking a year of a course for a second time (i.e. repeating a year/ level) may be liable for tuition fees.

Non-EU Tuition Fees

The current annual tuition fee for full-time Non-EU Undergraduate Students is €10,500 for all levels of study.

Undergraduate Students from Northern Ireland & Great Britain

Students from Northern Ireland or Great Britain do not have to pay tuition fees to study in the Republic of Ireland. They pay the €3000 student contribution fee. A Student Contribution Loan can be secured to cover this cost in the UK through the Student Loans Company.
