Typical living and learning costs
If, as a student, you decide to live in Dublin or any other big city, you will be paying much more than you would in other parts of the country.
Accommodation – In 2020, the average student rent came to £126 per week, or £547 a month, however, students in London can expect to pay an average of £182 a week, or £640 a month. The average annual cost for students is £4,914 (based on a 39-week contract). Most rents include bills of some kind, although one-third of students will pay bills on top of rent.
We understands how crucial accommodations are in the students’ study abroad experience. As such, we offer a variety of accommodation options so that students will have the most memorable and enjoyable stays possible (host family, homestay host, executive host family, residences, hostel / hotel, studios, shared apartments,etc.)
Food – The cost of living will also depend on how well you manage food costs. The prices of some of the most elementary items are higher in big cities. Fortunately, UK universities have dining halls within their campus where students can purchase a membership card and eat regularly. The average food cost per week in different cities in the UK can be between £30 – £40.
Transportation – Living in Ireland – particularly in Dublin– is expensive compared to many places in the world.
The cost of transportation will of course depend on the individual situation of each individual, but you still need to be prepared financially.
Travelling a is a daily necessity for most people who live, study and work in Ireland. Some choose to walk or cycle, which is cheaper than taking public transport, but can be impractical in bad weather. Taxis are widely available but more expensive.
Tuition fees
Tuition fees vary depending on the studies you choose. A General English course price, as an average, could start from €135 per week.
Univertities Tuition fees for EU/EEA students
In Ireland, undergraduate (Bachelor’s) degrees are free for citizens from Ireland, EU/EEA countries, and Switzerland. The costs are covered by the Higher Education Authority (HEA).
Keep in mind that not all undergraduate courses offered by public universities are free.
To benefit from the “free fees initiative”, you have to apply for the government funding programme and prove that you are eligible. You are not eligible if:
- You already have an undergraduate degree
- You already have a postgraduate degree
- You are repeating a year of study
Nationality, immigration status, residence and course requirements are other criteria that can qualify you for a tuition-free university degree.
For postgraduate (Master’s and PhD) studies, EU/EEA students should expect to pay tuition fees that range between 3,000 – 30,000 EUR/academic year. Business and Medicine courses are usually the most expensive.
Tuition fees for non-EU/EEA students
Undergraduate courses: 9,850 – 55,000 EUR/year
Postgraduate Master’s and PhD courses: 9,950 – 35,000 EUR/year
All international students (both EU/EEA and non-EU/EEA citizens) have to pay a student contribution fee of maximum 3,000 EUR/year for student services, like examination entries and support for clubs and societies. The fee varies from one university to another, and it can change every year.

A friend of my mother recommended us Hispanophile. Her kids went to a summer camp in Ireland with their school.
My parents decided that they wanted to send it me too.
Not only have they made lifelong friendships, but many wonderful memories. As a parent, I love that they are safe, well cared for, and actually looking forward to spending time outside away from technology.
Everyone at camp is dedicated to the children, their well being and ensuring the experience is spectacular. Even after we moved to another state, there were no other camps that compared to Camp Woodmont! This year our youngest son, age 7 will attend and keep the tradition going

I am very happy that I took a Gap Year and moved to Ireland. Hispanophile helped me with everything. I had a free consulation session with them and we were checking together what were my preferences and what I was looking for. I had a very good report from them that week with the best options available for me. I don’t think I would have taken the option without their help. There are too many options in the market and not too much time to explore everything, that is why I decided to do it with them.
The best thing about living in Dublin are the people, both Irish and foreign. People here are friendlier and more relaxed than where I come from and I like the culture and the vibe of the city.
