Students who enroll in the language institutes generally costs them about 50,000RMB a year. For those students who wish to pursue undergraduate studies must have to prepare the tuition fee of about 3,000 pounds a year. Generally speaking, there is a little difference of tuition fee cost between undergraduate studies but graduate and professional studies do have great tuition fee cost differences. Computers, medicine and business management graduate studies have very high tuition fee cost.
According to a 2000 survey, those students who enrolled in universities inside Dublin will spend the following:
-
Accommodation costs about 210 pounds a month;
-
Lighting / heating / electricity / telephone cost 30 pounds a month
-
Foods will cost about 134 pounds a month
-
Transportation will cost 42 pounds a month
-
Books and other school supplies cost about 35 pounds a month
-
Clothing / ironing and washing costs 32 pound a month
-
medicine costs depend on the nature of illness
-
participation to social gatherings and visiting local tourist spots or attending concerts costs about 77 pounds.
In this case, the student’s average monthly fee is about 560 pounds. Considering that one academic year in Ireland takes 36 weeks or nine months to complete, the average expenses of a students then is about 5,040 pounds. This amount of course, does not include your expenses when you visit relatives or friends in Ireland. If you are studying in a university in Dublin, Ireland, you must not have to compute your expenses per year but by multiplying your average expenses (560 pounds) by nine months. However, if you study elsewhere outside Dublin then the monthly cost of living is relatively cheaper than in Dublin.
Ireland 's Transport Cost
Transportation in Ireland is not quite convenient even in the capital city of Dublin. So I usually take a 20-minute walk instead of hitching a ride always. But the following is the average fare costs when taking a public transportation: a monthly fare for BUS/CAR is 44 pounds; 10 train tickets cost 10 pounds. Taxi fare rate is quite high, it would cost 50 pounds and that means to say that taking taxi is about 10 pounds more than taking the bus.
