Fee notes: Officially published non-EU tuition: EUR 61,000/year, plus a once-off EUR 135 National University of Ireland registration fee (EUR 61,135 total in year one), per RCSI's official Fees and Funding page. Non-EU fees have historically risen roughly 2%/year; the 6-year total is a calculated estimate (61,000 x 6 + 135) assuming no increase and is not an official locked-in figure. A EUR 75 application fee applies separately. Refund policy: 50% of annual tuition due by 1 July, a 14-day cooling-off period follows, withdrawal after 31 January makes the student liable for 100% of that year's tuition, and visa refusal triggers a full refund.
