Can you let me know the tuition fees for the universities so I can plan my finances in Ireland/Dublin for a Master's/MBA?

Your tuition for a Master's or MBA in Dublin depends heavily on whether you are an EU or non-EU student and which university you choose, so let's map out the real numbers you need for your financial plan. Non-EU Master's programs typically run €18,000 to €35,000 total for a one year course, while a full-time MBA at a flagship school like Trinity or UCD can cost €35,000 to €40,000. Here is a breakdown by university so you can compare directly.

Tuition by Dublin University

Extra Costs to Add to Your Budget

• Cost of living in Dublin runs roughly €12,000 to €15,000 per year for rent, utilities, food, and transport.
• A student contribution or levy of about €300 to €400 per year covers campus services.
• Non-EU students also need private health insurance (€150 to €500 per year) and an Irish Residence Permit registration fee of €300.
• Many Dublin universities offer merit-based scholarships ranging from partial fee waivers of €2,000 up to 50 percent reductions.

My Advice

My advice is to build your budget around the non-EU Master's range for your specific field, since business and finance programs sit at the higher end near €24,000 to €32,000 while arts and humanities sit closer to €18,000 to €23,000. Check each business school's scholarship deadline the moment you shortlist it, since merit-based funding rounds for MBAs often close months before the general application deadline.
