Full-time Undergraduate Fees
Fees for undergraduate students consist of a Student Contribution Charge and Tuition Fees.
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.

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.
| Level | Annual EU Tuition Fee |
|---|---|
| Higher Certificate (Level 6) | €250 |
| Ordinary Degree (Level 7) | €250 |
| Honours Degree (Level 8) – other than Nursing and Engineering | €819 |
| Honours Degree (Level 8) – Engineering | €1,450 |
| Honours Degree (Level 8) – Nursing | €4,106 |

Undergraduate students’ fees are classified as one of the following:
- Free Fees Scheme:
Student who meets the criteria for the Government’s Free Fees Scheme (www.studentfinance.ie). Students are liable for the Student Contribution Charge only with their tuition fees covered under the scheme.
- EU Fees:
Students who do not meet the criteria for the Government’s Free Fees Scheme and are liable for both the Student Contribution charge, and Tuition Fees.
- Non-EU Fees:
Any student who does not meet the conditions of the Free Fees Scheme or EU Fees will be liable for non-EU Fees, regardless of nationality or citizenship.
Students classified as non-EU for fee purposes will not be permitted to change their fee status except where a student acquires EEA citizenship and may qualify for ‘free fees’ in accordance with the ‘Change of Nationality’ clause which forms part of the Free Fees Scheme.
To determine your tuition fee status please refer to Criteria for Determining Tuition Fee Status
Undergraduate Students from Northern Ireland & Great Britain
Students from Northern Ireland or Great Britain are assessed on the same basis as EU/EEA/Swiss students.
