Introduction The cost of living in Ireland is an important part of planning your international degree. Tuition is only one part of the budget, so students should also consider accommodation, food, transport, health insurance, and everyday expenses. For non-EEA students, Ireland's immigration rules currently use €10,000 as the estimated living-cost requirement for one academic year for courses resulting in residence of more than eight months.
