This is an interest bearing repayable loan. The Student Contribution Fee will be paid directly to DkIT by the Student Loans Company upon receipt of an invoice from the Institution.

Important Information for Ukrainian Students
We have received the following guidance from the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science with regard to Ukrainian applicants in the 2026/27 academic year.
The support schemes for new applicants starting a new higher education course in AY 2026/27 are closed and the only supports now available will be via the Free Fees Initiative and/or SUSI. Prospective students must meet the eligibility criteria of these schemes to avail of supports.
From the 2026/27 academic year onwards, Ukrainian students who have not been ordinarily resident in Ireland for 3 full years (out of the last 5) will be charged the full non-EU tuition fee rate for their programme. This applies regardless of whether they have been granted Temporary Protection under Section 60 of the International Protection Act, 2015.
Payment in Instalments:
Undergraduate students may pay fees in two instalments. Where a student opts to pay in instalments, 50% of fees must be paid by 31 October. Instalment 2 is due by 31 January. Failure by a student to pay outstanding fees will result in services being withdrawn. Students with fees owing to the Institute will not be permitted to register until such time as the outstanding fees are paid in full. Final year students with outstanding fees will not be recorded as a graduate and no complete results or complete academic record will be issued, until full payment of all outstanding fees is made.
The Institute may offer a facility to pay in instalments outside this general scheme where financial hardship is demonstrated or for specific programmes or student cohorts. Determination of eligibility of students for payment by instalment resides with the Fee Collection Committee (See Section 9 of the Procedures for Collection of Student Fees) for full-time students and the Lifelong Learning Manager for part-time students in consultation with other Institute personnel as appropriate.
Students who miss an instalment payment date may have services withdrawn.
SUSI Funding
Undergraduate students, if your household income is under €100,000, you may be eligible for SUSI funding in 2026/27, you can find out more at SUSI is now open for new applications for academic year 2025/26
Withdrawal / Deferral from Course:

Failure to do this can affect your refund of fees paid and may also result in you being liable for tuition fees if you resume your studies at a later date
