The initial deposit for University College Dublin (UCD) varies depending on the program and student status. For most undergraduate and postgraduate courses, non-EU students must pay a deposit of €500–€1,000 to secure their place. This amount is typically deducted from the first-year tuition fees.
EU students generally do not need to pay an initial deposit. However, specific programs, such as MBBS Medicine, may require deposits regardless of residency status. Always check UCD’s official website or contact the admissions office for precise details, as policies may change.
