Germany is generally more affordable for a Master's in Cyber Security due to low or no tuition fees at public universities, while Ireland has higher tuition and living costs but offers substantial scholarships.

Germany:
- Tuition Fees: Minimal to none at public universities; private universities charge €5,000 - €20,000/year (subject to change).
- Living Expenses: €900 - €1,200/month.
- Scholarships: DAAD and others can cover living costs and provide stipends.

Ireland:
- Tuition Fees: €10,000 - €18,000/year for non-EU students (subject to change).
- Living Expenses: €1,000 - €2,500/month, depending on city.
- Scholarships: Government and university scholarships may cover full tuition and offer a €10,000 stipend.

Estimated Total (2 years):
- Germany: €18,000 - €24,000 (mainly living costs; lower with scholarships).
- Ireland: €44,000 - €86,000 (tuition + living; scholarships can reduce this).

Scholarship availability and coverage depend on your profile and chosen university.
