Notes
"Ireland bases its tuition rates on residence (3 of the last 5 years living in the EU) despite whether you're an EU citizen or not. In other words, only those who have resided in an EU country 3 of the last 5 years are eligible for the discounted rates."
Years 1 and 2 of this course are delivered at ATU Connemara, while Years 3 and 4 are run at ATU Galway City, with some classes also in NUI Galway.
