Deposit - Taught Courses only
To secure a taught course postgraduate place at NUI Galway, a deposit is payable at offer/ acceptance stage. The deposit is usually €500 but can be €1,000 for some courses. The deposit payment is deducted from your course fee at registration. If you do not register at NUI Galway, then this deposit is not refundable. However, if you did not attain the stipulated conditions of your offer when a conditional offer was originally made, the deposit will be refunded to you, with the exception of the Professional Master of Education and Máistir Gairmiúil san Oideachas programmes.

Methods of Payment
EU fees can be paid securely online when registering using a debit or credit card. Alternatively, you can request a bank giro online; log into your student portal at www.universityofgalway.ie/fees and click on the, “Online Fee Payment Service”, link. Bank giros can only be used in any bank within the Republic of Ireland. Please retain your receipt for proof of payment. EU fees may be paid in two equal instalments—50% on registration and 50% by 31 January (of the following year). If you are being funded by a SUSI grant or another organisation, you must provide written evidence of this funding to the Fees Office by 31 October annually.

International student fees may be paid in full prior to registration or 50% of fees may be paid before registration* and the balance paid in full before 31 January 2024
