Financial Planning for Your Children’s Third Level Education

This is estimated to range between €11,838 and €13,917 per academic year, which equates to between €47,352 and €55,668 for the completion of a 4 year degree course. Below is a breakdown by institution of the estimated costs associated with supporting a third level student living away from home.
