The University of Galway does not require an initial deposit for most undergraduate or postgraduate programs. However, some courses, particularly those in high demand or with specialized requirements, may request a deposit to secure a place. This amount varies but typically ranges between €500 and €1,000, deducted from the first-year tuition fees.
International students might encounter different policies, such as partial tuition prepayment. Always check the specific course details on the university’s official website or contact the admissions office for precise information regarding deposits, deadlines, and refund policies.
