EU/Non-EU Fee Status

Tuition fees differ for applicants based on their EU or Non-EU status as assessed by Trinity Academic Registry. A student’s registered status (EU/non-EU) cannot be changed during a programme for which they are registered. Please note that full-time education in the EU does not in itself constitute ordinary residence. If a student wishes to appeal their fee status, they should liaise with their supervisor or course director, who may choose to raise the appeal to the Dean of Graduate Studies. A form for this purpose is available from the Postgraduate Admissions Team in Academic Registry – email academic.registry@tcd.ie subject line with “PG Fee Status Appeal”. The Dean of Graduate Studies will only alter the fee status of an application in exceptional and appropriate circumstances.
