Each postgraduate programme incurs a programme tuition fee payable to SETU. Postgraduate fees are set each year and include the registration fee, tuition fee and examination fee. All fees are reviewed on an annual basis.
You must pay at least 50% of the total fee online at the beginning of the year (e.g. if total fee is €8,000 1st instalment due at registration is €4,000) and the remaining 50% by 31st January of that academic year. Please note you will not have access to University facilities until the first instalment has been paid. You may instead pay 100% of the total annual fee online at the beginning of the year if you choose.
Please note: The deposit of €500 paid to secure your place is non-refundable
