Paying your course fees

Self-Funding Students 

To help make payments more manageable for students who are self-funding, ATU has a variety of payment options that include payment per semester, in-full or by instalment. For specific fees for each online programme, please visit the programme webpage. 

Employer Funded 

If your employer is partly or fully funding your course, you will need to organise payment through the ATU Admissions team with your employer.   

Tax Relief 

As ATU is listed by the Irish revenue as an ‘APPROVED INSTITUTION’ students are eligible to claim tax relief at the standard rate for tuition fees. In order to determine your own eligibility and if the course you have applied for qualifies for a tax refund, please read the information on the Revenue website: https://www.revenue.ie/en/personal-tax-credits-reliefs-and-exemptions  

SUSI Grant Scheme 

Those applying for postgraduate course in ATU may be eligible for financial support. In the Republic of Ireland, the Student Grant Scheme can assist students with tuition fees and living costs during their study.
