Ireland 2013/14 - values of student fees

National student fee

For the first cycle, full-time EU students are exempt from full tuition fees if they meet the terms of the 'free fees scheme', but pay a 'student contribution' of EUR 2 500 per academic year. Full-time EU students who do not meet the terms of the scheme must pay a consolidated fee covering both tuition fee and student contribution - the average EU consolidated fee is EUR 6 000.

For the second cycle, the majority of students pay tuition fees.

Part-time fees are generally half of full tuition fees for full-time programmes.

International student fees are generally two to three times that of full EU fees and are set by the higher education institutions.
