What the fee figure leaves out

A published fee is not what you pay

7 courses here, across 1 university, carry a sourced note about a cost the headline figure does not include — a compulsory contribution, an income-tested scale, an annual increase that applies from year two, a rule about who qualifies. The most widely shared of them:

A blend of computer science and mathematics aimed squarely at AI/ML skills, with a work placement and an optional progression into an integrated MSc (extending study to five years, hence UL's own 'Four or five years' duration figure). All Faculty of Science and Engineering non-EU students are automatically considered for a EUR 2,000/year merit scholarship…

“This degree gives you strong skills in AI and machine learning to tackle real‑world challenges, with work placement and an option to progress to a master's.”

What it costs to live

Student housing published by the university itself or by the body that runs its halls, cheapest first. Shown in the currency and period each one publishes — not converted, because a converted rent is a worse number than the real one.

How Ireland compares with other countries

Ranked against every other country on StudyPath. Countries charge in different currencies, so these figures are converted to US dollars and are approximate; the published figure, in its own currency, is on each university's page.

Converted to US dollars at the site's exchange rates of 13 Sept 2026. A fee or rent published per term, month or week is scaled to a year, and housing is counted for twelve months of holding the room. The living-cost figure is what an immigration authority requires a student visa applicant to show, taken as a year; the UK's, for example, covers at most nine months, so this overstates it. See student finance for each country's exact wording.
