Are the costs of studying in Ireland expensive? Compared to many other top-level universities around the world, not really. Dublin, Ireland's capital city is the most expensive city to live in, but Irish cities are very cost-effective places to live compared with other popular study destinations, such as the UK.
What are the living costs for students in Ireland?
The estimated cost of living in Ireland for a student for one academic year is €7,000 to €12,000 per year. This includes rent, electricity, food, books, laundry and medicine, as well as travel passes and social expenses, but excludes tuition fees.
Of course, your living expenses will vary, depending on the study location, type of accommodation and lifestyle you choose. Consider any international travel you plan on doing during the year.
You will also need to budget for one-time costs, like buying kitchen items, bedding, a mobile phone and so on.
