DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION and SKILLS - FREE FEES INITIATIVE ( Official Criteria for DeterminIng Eligibility (Issued September 2010)) View Document.

New & Existing Undergraduate Students:

Composite fee includes capitation fee and examination fee but does not include repeat examination fee, late payment fee, or late registration fee.

Tuition fees will be paid in respect of EU nationals who have been ordinarily resident in an EU Member State for at least three of the five years preceding their entry to their third-level course subject to the following conditions:

  • Tuition fees will be paid only in respect of students attending full-time undergraduate courses.
  • The courses must, other than exceptionally, be of a minimum of two years duration.
  • Tuition fees will not be paid in respect of students pursuing a second undergraduate course. However, notwithstanding this condition, fees will be paid in respect of students who already hold a national certificate or diploma and are progressing to a degree course where their existing qualifications provide them with the necessary credits to enable them to meet the entry requirements and an appropriate exemption from the normal duration of the degree course is available on the basis of the certificate/diploma.
  • Except in the case of second chance students (see next point below) tuition fees will not be paid in respect of students repeating a year-level having changed (but not completed) their undergraduate course. This condition may be waived in exceptional circumstances such as cases of certified illness.
  • Tuition fees will be paid in respect of students who, having attended but not completed approved courses, are returning following a break of at least five years in order to pursue approved courses at the same level in the 2010/2011 academic year.
  • The tuition fees payable do not include the payment to be made by students towards the cost of registration, examinations and student services.
