How Irish tuition works

A student writing notes at a desk
Tuition

List fee, deposit, visa payment

Three different numbers. Know each one before you accept an offer.

Master’s fees are usually quoted for the whole programme; bachelor’s fees are per year.
You must have paid at least €6,000 of tuition (or the full fee if lower) before you file the visa.
The deposit that holds your place is not always enough for the visa. Compare it with the €6,000 rule.
A scholarship shows only as a possible net fee, if eligible. Plan on the list fee until it is confirmed in writing.
Some programmes add a levy or registration charge on top of tuition. Check the official fee page.
Before you pay

The deposit is not the visa payment
