Northern Irish with Irish passport masters degree europe fees

ellenrea4

I have recently acquired an Irish passport, so I now have both a British and an Irish passport. I believe having an Irish passport/citizenship entitles you to 'live and work in the EU' post Brexit. However, I am not sure I will be able to pay EU fees, rather than international fees when studying for my masters in Europe. I know the loophole no longer exists for having free fees in Scotland if you have an Irish passport, being from Northern Ireland, so I am worried that it won't be so straightforward for EU universities. If anyone has any experience/knowledge about this I'd be very appreciative for advice.

ER, you do know you are posting in the Freebies (no spend required board) ? LOL

Perhaps  Forum Home» Employment, Jobseeking & Training 

Or even Forum Home» Student Money Saving

Would help?

I suggest you contact your chosen university and ask, perhaps mentioning only that you live in Northern Ireland and omitting that you also hold British citizenship. Do bear in mind that (i) living costs may be far more of an issue than tuition fees, particularly if you choose a high-cost country such as Norway; (ii) the fees may vary depending on the medium of instruction: in Poland you pay more to be taught in English than to be taught in Polish.

I live in an EU27 Country. This is my understanding.
As a British Citizen to study for a Batchelor Degree in the UK will cost +/- £10,000 per year for three years. A master would be a little more for one year.

As an EU citizen (Irish Passport) you would be able to study in any of the EU27 countries. The fees VERY GENERALLY are less than £500 per year for three years for a Batchelor and a little more for a masters for TWO years.
Many  European Universities have 100’s of courses ALL in English.
living costs will depend on the country but will not be too much different to the UK.
