    Is RCSI a private university or a public one?
    Can't seem to find the answer on its website :o

    I don't know exactly what you mean by public/private to be honest. But if you qualify for the free fees scheme then you don't have to pay tuition fees which isn't the case for many of the private colleges. So yeah it's like any other Uni or IT. It has a large number of international students that generally pay massive fees so that's often a source of confusion.

    Yeah I think thats the confusion, I always thought you'd have to pay more then the 2750 to get into RCSI, so thats not the case is it?

    No, Irish students who qualify for free fees just pay the student contribution and other little fees like USI. So yeah about €2,750.
