How much are DCU fees for international students?

On the January 2027 list, DCU’s business and finance master’s cost €23,000 and its engineering master’s €25,000, about ₹25.3 lakh and ₹27.5 lakh. The deposit is €500 and the application fee is waived. Eligible engineering programmes carry a €5,000 scholarship.

Does DCU offer scholarships to Indian students?

Yes. The DCU Faculty of Engineering & Computing International Scholarship takes €5,000 off eligible engineering and computing master’s, so a €25,000 programme has a possible net fee of €20,000 if you are eligible. DCU’s business scholarship figure is not yet verified, so we do not publish it.
