Estimated annual living expenses for international students are:

- Ireland: €12,000 - €30,000/year, depending on city and lifestyle. Dublin is more expensive (about €1,400 - €2,500/month), while cities like Cork, Galway, or Limerick are somewhat cheaper.
- New Zealand: NZD 20,000 - NZD 27,000/year. Monthly costs usually range from NZD 1,500 - NZD 2,300, depending on location and lifestyle.

These figures include accommodation, food, transport, utilities, and personal expenses, but do not cover tuition fees. Figures are subject to change.
