Dublin City University (DCU) Courses and Fees 2025

• I would say the difficulty level of my course curriculum was quite difficult but manageable if you grasp all the concepts well and dedicate a good amount of your time during the week to self-studying. It was a good mix of theoretical and practical, and most importantly, it was research-oriented. I have already mentioned the positive and negative aspects of my course in the initial page of the form in brief and those are mainly it.

• The total fees that I had to pay were 17,500 euros (although they have increased now). I paid approximately 720 euros a month (including bills) for the university accommodation (although that too has increased now). It was a single ensuite room shared with 4 other people.
• The fees are charged yearly (at least that was the case for me). Monthly expenses completely depend on the person and how much that person spends on their daily needs and other leisurely activities.

• Searching for accommodation is one of the challenging tasks for the students, especially to get hostel accommodation, as college does not have much facility to provide. Students have to arrange their accommodation on their own and make sure to deal with the inflated price, as there are a lot of scammers as well.

• I would say the course wasn't hectic enough. Even though it gave you insights into all topics, some aspects weren't as in-depth as I would've wanted them to be. There are 3 semesters per master's course. 2 regular semesters and 1 research semester. During the regular semester there are about 2-3 classes of all courses per week with 2 hours of study and 1 hour of tutorial and for courses that are tutorial only, they have a 3-hour class in the lab.
• Since courses collide with other majors, the exact number of the students in the course is hard to tell, but in Data Analytics there were about 80 students. It's the most popular major out of all. AI had about 60 students so based on this, I would say Masters in Computing had about 150 students in total. The classes are usually in the evening, 4 to 7 or 3 to 7. In a week you'll get 2 days off excluding weekends.

• Total fees were 18,000 Euros for 12 months. Where I had to pay 500 to confirm my seat, this is part of the fees so it is adjusted. Then I had to pay 60% of the entire fees by 1st September, i.e., before classes start and pay the rest before the start of the second semester. You can also pay the entire amount in one go.
• I didn't stay on campus; I stayed in a student accommodation where my monthly rent was 1136 Euros but this included everything, such as electricity and bins but we had to pay for laundry.

Gets good industry exposure and course syllabus and assignments are tough compare to other colleges, also good and industry experienced professors for teaching which brings reality and theoretical approaches together for better understanding.

Total Fees for my course was 17000 Euros/ Year and I got scholarship of 2000 Euros so it was 15000 Euros which is approximately 14,00,000Rs
