While it is a worthwhile investment in your future, the financial cost of a postgraduate degree can be a roadblock for some students, with courses costing upwards of €5,000 a year. However, some options are available to prospective students:

• SUSI grants
• Scholarships & bursaries
• Funding for professional learners
• Bank of Ireland: Postgraduate Student Loans 
  for specific Bank of Ireland Postgraduate Student Loan queries, please contact Pamela Barry Pamela.Barry@boi.com

Tax relief is also available on postgraduate tuition fees, up to €7,000 per person per course. You can read more about that on Citizens Information.
