1 year Masters - how much?

ShoulderChip

I have been looking at some masters in Trinity and they claim to cost about 1600 for 1 year,

is this the full fee, or are there other fees that I hsould now about

I was under the impression that these masters cost like 10grand,

is that just for Smurfit or something?

cheers.

See here (PDF) from page 8 onwards for a list of all fees for Trinity Postgraduate courses. But yeah, if it says only €1,600 then that's it. Although Trinity does have a 'Commencement Fee' of over €100 which is basically a money making exercise.

The above charges are for 2008/09 btw, it could change if you start your masters in September.

IT related courses supported by the advanced skills programme are subsidised by the HEA, the fee the student pays is €1750 this year, these include some in Trinity and even one in Smurfit.

Most other masters are more than this, right up to €20000+ for a MBA.

All the taught postgrads in the School of Computing in DCU cost €1750 last academic year (2007/8). They're HEA funded as you said but also they tend to rise by €150 approx every year (they were €1600 for the academic year 2006/7). (more info: www.dcu.ie/computing)

The HEA don't normally confirm figures until summer but I reckon there'll still be some change from 2K (which is still very good for a postgrad course). It'll probably be €1900 for academic year 2009/10. Mostly cos the government wants highly skilled IT persons in our workforce - they're very sought after, in Ireland and everywhere else!

Dont forget to factor in that you might have to pay towards the "students union contribution fund" or something along those lines... :rolleyes:

IIRC, that was just under €100 here (UL) this year.

I'm commencing a Masters in Sept which is also funded. 2 years part time costs a total of 1750. However I was led to believe by mates (have not asked the university yet) that there is student capitation fees of 1500 euro or so a year. Is this true ?

It might vary from college to college, but I did a funded IT conversion masters in UCC last year and the €1600 (as it was then) included everything.

Should have read my letter of offer more carefully. The fee includes everything including capitation. A relief then.
