Our understanding of the information sought by the Deputy is outlined below. This data was sourced from the Student Records System in the HEA and is contained in the tables below.
Undergraduate courses are included in the Free Fees Initiative, the Department does not have information regarding places set aside by HEIs for fee paying students, typically from outside the EU.
The Dental Surgery programme in Trinity College Dublin is a post graduate course and is therefore not included in the Free Fees Scheme, fees are payable by all participants. Further information is available here: Dental Surgery (D.Ch.Dent.) - Courses | Trinity College Dublin (tcd.ie)
