Student Money Matters

Student Contribution & Tuition Fee

Any student who enters third level education is liable for:

(a)        Student Contribution Fee and

(b)        Tuition Fee (should you not qualify for Free Fees)

Student Contribution

The Student Contribution Fee is a charge which is set annually by the Government and all third level students are liable to pay it. The Student Contribution fee for the academic year 2014/15 is €3,000.

The Student Contribution Fee is due to the Institute prior to or on the date of Registration. Any student who qualifies for a grant will not be liable to pay the Student Contribution fee, once they present their awarding body grant letter to the WIT Grants Administrator. 

Tuition Fees

Tuition Fees are due to the Institute for all undergraduate students. The Higher Education Authority (HEA) operates “Free Tuition Fee” scheme and those students who qualify are exempt from paying the Institute Tuition Fees. 

WIT will claim Tuition Fees from the HEA on behalf of every student attending the Institute who qualifies for the "Free Tuition Fee" Scheme.

All other students who are not entitled to the "Free Tuition Fee" scheme will be personally liable for payment of the tuition fees which are due to the Institute prior to or on the date of registration.
