10% Reduced Masters Programme Fees Scheme

Update: DCU has extended the 10% Masters Reduced Fee scheme that is exclusive to all DCU graduates and outgoing final year students from the university for the 2024/2025 Academic year.

It applies to students commencing the first year of a full time or part time taught Masters Programme for the academic years 2024/2025.

This is an exciting opportunity for our Alumni Community. It underlines our commitment to continuous learning and our ever increasing list of benefits for graduates of DCU.

*Updated 16/2/2024.

Please note, you do not have to apply for the 10% Masters Reduced Fee. DCU will contact you in December 2024 to confirm your eligibility. Please see our detailed timeline at the bottom of this page

Summary of Reduced Fee Scheme

  • Student must be enrolled in a full taught masters programme (part time or full time).

  • Eligible students must be a DCU graduate.

  • The applicant must include/declare their previous DCU student number and relevant programme(s) when applying for their Masters through the student application portal.

  • Graduates will pay the 1st Semester fee instalment as normal.

  • The 10% discount of the total course fee in the current year will be applied in full to the 2nd Semester payment.

  • If an eligible student pays the full fees in Semester 1, a refund in line with the Masters Reduced Fee will be issued in early 2025 in line with Semester 2 registration.  If the student withdraws before the second semester or does not make the second payment, the Discount is withdrawn.

  • The Discount does not apply to repeat students.

  • The 10% reduction applies to students commencing year one of a Masters Programme in the 2024/25 academic year.

  • The Discount cannot be used in combination with another award, scholarship or discount [e.g. 10% Discount with another Scholarship or Discount]. DCU will automatically apply the scholarship/reduction of whatever one offers the highest reduction.
