€200 Government Levy
€260 (Includes assessment fees)
Fees may be subject to change
All our programmes are funded under the National Development Plan and therefore there are no programme fees. However, students are liable for the payment of a college charge. This covers the costs of student services, all examination and certification fees and charges for membership of professional bodies where applicable. Examination and Certification costs vary from programme to programme. Full details of these are available on each course page. Fees payable to professional bodies are subject to alteration or increase. These changes are outside of our control and students will be advised as soon as the information is available. Non EU Nationals are charged fees as set by the Department of Education and Science - in addition to the programme charges. Details are available from the college. Students are expected to bear the cost of their own textbooks and class materials.
A €50 deposit is required on acceptance of a place in the college. This is non-refundable. Balance of charges is due for payment before registration and will not be refunded except where a class does not form.
