The Higher Education Authority (HEA) has advised that the total cost of educating an undergraduate medical student is estimated at c.€25,000 – €30,000 per student per annum. This cost is generally met from a variety of sources including state grant/fees/other income and therefore €25,000-€30,000 does not represent the total cost to the State.
