    Hi, just filled out my CAO form and I put down a few Level 8 courses in DCU. I also applied for the HEAR scheme which I am fully eligible for.

    Can anyone tell me what sort of fee's I will be looking at even after the HEAR scheme?

    Thanks.

    How do you mean by fees? You'll have to pay a registration fee anyway.

    Yeah I know but surely there's more than just a registration fee?
    Thx.

    If you're an EU citizen and this is your first undergraduate degree than no, that's it

    You probably know that the registration fee is €2,000, right?

    €2,225 after the last budget if I'm not mistaken

    The County Council third level grant pays the registration fee, apart from a "student services" element which I think is around 135, maybe someone could confirm?

    Also you need to budget for textbooks, labcoats etc. The cost of these varies depending on what course you are doing.

    :)

    Good luck with the Leaving

    I'm on the grant with my local County Council, the fees charged by the government were covered by that, and I think I had to pay something like €65 myself. I can't remember exactly what the figure was

    of course i do, i had to pay it, i just meant that under those conditions the reg fee is what you pay, not full fees

    Hi,
    I totted it up last night, and if you were a cold independant foreign national, from outside the EU it would cost around 25,000+ euro per year for FEES alone. As an irish citizine I see about 2250. Im at that stage of paying fees for my kids, and when you look at it from that perspective, 2250 is a great deal.

    If you really want to become voilently ill........take a look at the US, and the costs students/guardians there are lumbered with. A lot of younger folks are force to join the army to get assisted education. Thats how Bradley Manning ended up in Iraq. The costs are obscene there I`m told. Colleges are run as private profitable businneses there, rather than to provide a guaranteed national service to society in general. I heard figures of $250,000 + for fees for a 4 year degree course.
