In general, there are two levels of fees payable. EU students from EU countries including Ireland pay a subsidised level of fees for both taught courses and research programmes. Tuition fees for students from outside the EU are not subsidised and are thus somewhat higher than for EU students.

Comment
Chemistry
Chemistry at Maynooth is distinctive in that the size of the Department is large enough to offer a range of structured, funded research options within modern laboratory facilities and research instrumentation typical of a larger university, but still small enough to maintain a highly studentoriented, supportive environment.
