By Bernadette Farrell Over the years there have been a number of surveys carried out to try and accurately estimate the cost of living for the average student. Every year there are several estimates published which give an indication of how much it costs to be a student for one academic year (nine months) in Ireland.

There are a number of other costs associated with studying and these include:
Figure from 2008Estimates for the academic year vary from survey to survey and seem to rest somewhere between €7500 and €15,000.
