The cost of living in the South East of Ireland, and moving to Ireland, are important factors for students coming to SETU. Although there are several scholarship and funding opportunities for SETU students, you should have a pre-planned budget for each year of your academic programme.

SETU Global provides the below to help students get a better picture of their expenses in the South East.

Everyone’s budget will be different. The below is a rough guide only. The largest factor in all budgets is the cost of accommodation.
