Dublin City University (DCU) Courses and Fees 2026

• It feels difficult at the start, but eventually, when time passes, we get to know the process here, and it gets easy from there. It is natural to feel overwhelmed once you reach here and start your course.
• For Masters in finance, it is 4 days a week for semester 1 and 2 days a week for semester 2
• The average number of students in my course was 140.
• Indian students out of 140 were 132.

• The fee for a master's in finance is 17,600 euros; this includes every charge.
• It is yearly; we can pay the first half of the fee while applying, and the rest can be paid after some time, basically in the second semester.
• 1000 euros is the monthly regular expense that usually happens which includes rent, transportation and necessities.
• It again depends on different individuals and their expenses.

• 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.

• The course is difficult but doable with hard work. It is a Masters degree so you cannot expect it to be a cakewalk. Complex topics are included and a lot of computer science topics are added as well to ensure holistic development of students.
• Almost 80% of the batch is comprised of Indian students so you’ll always find comrades from your own country. Classes are usually held 4 days a week for 6 hours a day.

• The total tuition fees for Non EU students are EUR 17,600. The fees can be paid in 2 semesters. Monthly expenses are relative but on average it costs 1200 EUR per month to live in Dublin.
• Dublin is one of the most expensive places to live in Europe. Rent is high, and for a shared room, the cost is EUR 700. For a single apartment, it can go up to EUR 1000. Food, transport, and electricity cost another 200 to 300 EUR.

• 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

The course curriculum is very nice and upto the track of the module you have selected . you will get the great exposure to the practical and theoretical knowledge and indept knowledge of the subject and the assignments help you a lot.

The experience is very much nice as I enjoyed my time in the university with the academics as well as the other activities and chilling in the campus and different function by the university . The playground areas movie nights which will make you feel like a home in the university itself.

The course material can be better updated. They are still slightly outdated industry experience is good when doing the research project.
