    Your lecturer's should give you a reading list with core books or recommended reading when you start. As for a rough idea of cost, it all depends on your course and what books you need. Some of the books for my course were very expensive (50 euro for some!) so I only bought 2 core books and the rest were available in the library. I'd say hold off buying until you start and see what one's you really need and will use over the 3/4 years.

    Hope this helps :)
