The Higher Education Authority (HEA) collects and publishes student data annually from publicly funded higher education institutions. The table below shows the number of international students, including non-EEA students, enrolled in publicly funded Irish higher education institutions since the academic year 2021/22.

Irish higher education institutions are autonomous bodies and as such are responsible for the management of their own financial affairs. Accordingly, my Department does not hold data on fee income received by institutions from international students.
