Refunds

NUI Galway may refund fees under certain circumstances:

Medical grounds:

Make your appeal in writing, outlining your case, and forward medical documentation to the Colette Gill, Fees Office Manager, The Fees Office, Aras Uí Chathail, NUI Galway.

Your appeal will be send to the Director of Financial Accounting, who may reduce your fee by up to 50%, based on the medical evidence submitted.

The appeal process takes between four to six weeks. If you are required to register in September 2010, we would advise you to pay 50% of the total fee due and deal with your appeal as a separate issue.

Financial hardship grounds:

If you want to make an application for instalment payments, transfer of fees from 2008/09 to 2009/10 or a reduction in your fees, you should write to the Student Loans & Fees Committee which examines financial hardship of registered students.

Provide evidence of your appeal (original bank statements, original utility bills, original rent receipts etc.) and a list of your income and expenditure as well as a letter outlining your appeal.

To register for the academic year 2009/10, you must make a minimum payment of 50% of your total fees, along with your written application and your proposed payment plan. Please address your correspondence to Colette Gill, Fees Office Manager, Fees Office, Aras Uí Chathail, NUI Galway.

The Student Loans and Fees Committee meet three times per academic year - in mid to late October 2009, mid February 2010 and April 2010.

Grant/scholarship holders

Grant/scholarship holders may be entitled to a refund of the:

  • initial fee instalment paid to NUI Galway,
  • deposit for your course or
  • non-tuition fees.

The refund will not be made until all registration requirements have been completed and the full fee received by the University from the authority awarding the grant or scholarship.

However, if you paid a deposit for a course at NUI Galway but did not register, you are not entitled to a refund.

Staff Concession Scheme

NUI Galway grants fee concessions to staff and their family who want to continue their education. These concessions are subject to a number of conditions, which can be viewed in the Staff Fee Concession Policy.

Postgraduate Course Fees

Find out how much the programme of your choice will cost. You can also find funding opportunitites to help you with your tuition, should you qualify.

Postgraduate fees

For more information on EU and Non-EU fees for postgraduate taught and research courses at NUI Galway, please contact the Fees Office directly.

E.U. students

An E.U. student is defined as an E.U. national (i.e. holding an E.U. passport/or birth certificate) who has been ordinarily resident* in an E.U. member state for at least three of the five years immediately preceding their entry to the third level course.

* 'ordinarily resident' excludes residency for educational purposes.

Tax rebate

The Revenue Commissioners offer tax relief on tuition fees for some postgraduate courses, if you have had to pay the full tuition fees. If you find tax relief, you won't pay the full fee.

Deposit

To secure a taught postgraduate place at NUI Galway a deposit is payable at offer-acceptance stage. The deposit is usually €500 but can be €1,000 in some cases. The deposit payment is deducted from your course fees at registration stage, so in effect is a partial-payment of your final course fees.


If you don’t take up the place you accepted, then this deposit is not refundable. However, it is refundable in the event that you do not meet the conditions pertaining to your offer (if you were made a conditional offer in the first instance).
