Employers

Some postgraduate students are lucky enough to be sponsored by a current or future employer. If you present your case in terms of what your course/research will bring to the company and how much your work performance will benefit from a postgraduate course, they may find your request for sponsorship simply too hard to refuse!

Tax-Relief

Tax relief is sometimes available for fees of part- and full time courses where an applicant has been working and paying income tax. Contact your local tax office or visit www.revenue.ie for further information.

Wages

Full time postgraduate students can sometimes afford to work part time, depending on the course subject and flexibility. Many university departments offer postgraduates paid roles as teaching assistants or tutors.
