For a Master’s in Ireland, expect annual tuition fees between €10,000 and €35,000, plus €800-€1,800 per month for living costs, depending on the city. In the UK, tuition usually ranges from £9,000 to £30,000 per year, and living expenses are £900-£1,400 per month. Don’t forget to plan for health insurance and proof of funds for your visa. Strong IELTS preparation is also important for your application.

For a Master's in Business Administration, tuition in Ireland ranges from €14,000 to €28,000 per year, with living costs around €1,100 to €1,800 monthly in Dublin. In the UK, tuition is £15,000 to £35,000 annually, with monthly living costs of £1,023 to £1,334. Scholarships can reduce these costs, so your total annual budget may start from about €13,100 in Ireland or £11,000 in the UK, depending on your scholarship amount and city.
